The Farmer Boy Who Invented Ford


In 1879, a 16-year-old boy left his father’s farm for Detroit. At the time when means of transportation were trains or horse carriages and the first automobiles were mostly seen as racing machines for the rich, he would later open a car company and change the course of the automobile industry to what we know today. 35 years later after his arrival to Detroit, half of all cars on Earth were carrying his name, and Henry Ford would become one of the wealthiest men in American history
