Henry Ford

    Since day one, Henry Ford grew up having a very interesting life. Henry was born July 30th, 1863 in Greenfield Township, Michigan and had five other siblings. Henry and his father had a strong hate for Jews and Adolf Hitler thought Henry to be a great image of the "perfect German". He also published the book "The Internation Jew". Throughout his younger years of life, Henry looked up to his mother and loved her very much. When she died, Henry was devastated. During these hard times of accepting reality that he lost someone very close to him, Henry's father expected him to eventually take over the family farm. Henry, having no desire to do so, refused his fathers proposal and left home at age 16 to go work as an apprentice machinist in Detroit so he could have a life style more suitable for him.

    When Henry moved to Detroit, he met the love of his life Clara Bryant and married her in 1889. They had one child named Edsel Ford. One thing that Henry was always doing was working until he was completely satisfied. Henry invented the "Quadricycle" in 1890. Though this invention was successful, Henry wanted to invent affordable cars so everyone could buy them, not just the rich. The Assembly line made it possible for Henry to produce more cars faster which also made them cheaper. Since the Assembly line worked out very well, in 1903 he established the Ford Motor Company. After having his company, Henry began making models of cars named with letter of the alphabet. Model T was Henry's most famous creation. By the 1920's majority of American drivers learned how to drive and also owned a Model T.
