The Dodge Brothers: The Men, the Motor Cars, and the Legacy
Author: Charles K. Hyde
This book is the first scholarly study of the Dodge brothers and their company, chronicling their lives—from their childhood in Niles, Michigan, to their long years of learning the machinist’s trade in Battle Creek, Port Huron, Detroit, and Windsor, Ontario—and examining their influence on automotive manufacturing and marketing trends in the early part of the twentieth century. It uses sources that have never before been examined. It takes a scholarly approach and uses a personal tone that makes it appealing to automotive historians, car enthusiasts and those interested in Detroit’s early development.
