The People's Tycoon: Henry Ford and the American Century by Steven Watts

This book is perfectly suited to the non-fiction discussion group we have going in Murrell Library.  And, it's also a great representation of  the "journey" of Henry Ford, from farm boy to entrepreneur.  This is the book chosen for reading and discussion during the traveling Smithsonian exhibit "Journey Stories." 

If you're a fan of biographies, you'll enjoy reading this Missouri author's well-told life of Henry Ford.  You'll find his distrust of large corporations, his love of "hands-on" mechanics, his remarkable ability to market to the common man, his conflict with his father, his friendship with Edison...and much more!
