HENRY FORD
Henry Ford is famous for making cars easier for most people to buy. He did
this by producing the cars using an assembly line.
Henry Ford was born in 1863 in Michigan. He had 4 siblings, and his family
owned a farm. He worked on the farm when he was young, but he soon discovered
that he loved taking things apart to see how they worked, then putting them back
together again. He worked on watches a lot, and ended up helping many people fix
their watches. In 1879, when he was 16 years old, he moved to Detroit to start
working with machines, though he did come home and work on the farm a little, too.
