I'm always amazed and charmed by how often great things begin so tinily and unheralded. 125 years ago in the early morning of June 4 Henry Ford busted out the frame and bricks of his Bagley shop and drove out onto the streets of Detroit and into history.
He was one of many such creators before and since, but he's the one that would master the genius of manufacturing to make the automobile affordable to the masses and forever change the story of human transportation.
The impact on history, culture and the face of the planet would be incalculably immense, building and destroying Detroit in the process.
