The Untold Tragedy Behind the Model T
#ford #modelt #fordmodelt #businessstories
Ford was born in 1863 on a farm in Dearborn, Michigan during a time of turmoil. The American Civil War.
While the war tore the country apart, he would turn his love of machines and steam engines into something that would bring it together. His father hoped his son would become a farmer, but Henry hated the drudgery of farm work. When he was 12, his father took him on a buggy trip to Detroit. They passed a steam powered locomotive.
Henry began to dream of building a lighter, smaller version of this contraption to relieve the farmer's burden and help break the isolation of farm life.
