520 |a 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
