Requests:  0 Summary:  "The epic road trips--and surprising friendship--of John Burroughs, nineteenth-century naturalist, and Henry Ford and Thomas Edison, inventors of the modern age"-- In 1913 an unlikely friendship blossomed between Henry Ford and famed naturalist John Burroughs. When their mutual interest in Ralph Waldo Emerson led them to set out in one of Ford's Model Ts to explore New England, the trip would prove to be the first of many excursions that would take Ford, Burroughs, and an enthusiastic Thomas Edison, across America. Between 1913 and 1918, their road trips became more ambitious -- and nudged their work in new directions. Davis recreates these landmark adventures, and shows how they helped the men reimagine the world they were creating. -- adapted from jacket   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 917.30491 Da item being mended   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 917.30491 Davis Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult New Books 917.30491 Da Checked out 05/19/2024 Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 917.30491 Da Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
