The Dodges - The Auto Family Fortune and Misfortune

Excellent Book detailing the rise of the auto industry and John and Horace Dodge rags to riches story. Lots of Detroit history and reference to historical buildings and neighborhoods. As a Michigan native, I found this book very informative. A little on the gossipy side when talking about the shambles of the Dodges personal lives, their children, grandchildren, etc....Money sure doesn't buy happiness...
