The Early Years
Henry Ford was born on July 30, 1863, on his family’s farm in Dearborn, Michigan. But farm life was not for him. He enjoyed tinkering, which led him to Detroit and the Edison Illuminating Company, where he ascended to chief engineer.
In 1888 he married Clara Bryant, and in 1893 they had a son, Edsel. Ford continued tinkering on the side, determined to create his dream, a gasoline-powered engine. Eventually, his passion and charisma opened doors for him.
