Henry Ford and Grass-Roots America

By Reynold M. Wik

Book Overview

"This is both a biography of Henry Ford, American folk hero, and a study of the sociohistorical impact of the often idiosyncratic ideas and most of all his Tin Lizzie on rural America... the result is a book of considerable worth, perhaps the single best volume yet published on Ford."
-Kirkus Reviews

"...a unique social history of the period. The book has nostalgic value for all over 40, the humor of a na ve America for young people, and social and technical history for the scholar."
-Robert J. Havlik, Library Journal

"...the underlying theme is how Ford became a folk hero to rural America... This well written book not only supplements... previous studies... but helps to illuminate American values and attitudes during the 1920's."
