Henry Ford, George Selden, and the Race to Invent the Auto Age

Lawrence Goldstone
When George Seldon was granted the American patent for an ‘improved road engine’ in 1895 his royalties hampered the fledgling automobile industry, but Henry Ford’s 1911 legal challenge saw the copyright lifted and the invention went on to define an era. This account debunks the myths surrounding the industry’s origins, and profiles the business tycoons, maverick inventors and daredevil racers who played a part in establishing it.Slightly off-mint and felt-tip mark on lower trimmed edge.
