Award-winning author Daniel Alef tells the stories of the great American automotive pioneers, entrepreneurial inventors and visionaries who changed the American landscape and launched a new national culture. The dawn of the automobile ushered away the ubiquitous horse-drawn carriages and the rutted dirt roads they traveled on, and replaced them with cars powered by steam, electricity and gasoline. These pioneers lifted the veil of isolation that enveloped most of pre-20th century America. Automobiles changed how and where we lived, worked and played. Some of the pioneers became fabulously wealthy; others died in obscurity, but they developed America's largest industry in the space of one generation. Their audacity, determination, perseverance, work-ethic, and passion were unassailable. And one modern pioneer may be changing the automobile industry in the 21st century. Their stories are instructive and absorbing. Enjoy the ride.
