He was a farm boy who hated farming, and he rebuilt the world to get away from it. Told to Rose Wilder Lane while the Model T was still conquering the roads, Ford's account covers the Michigan workshop, the first machines, the racing, the assembly line, and the five dollar day. The gospel according to Ford, before history had a chance to answer back.
