Pick a good model and stay with it," Henry Ford once said. No, he was not talking about cars; he was talking about marriage. Was Clara Bryant Ford a "good model" Her husband of fifty-nine years seems to have thought so. He called her "The Believer," and indeed Clara's unwavering support of Henry's pursuits and her patient tolerance of the quirks and obsessions that accompanied her husband's genius made it possible for him to change the world. Clara is newly revealed in accounts and documents gleaned from personal papers, oral histories, and archival material never made public until now. These include receipts and recipes, diaries and genealogies. This biography of Clara Bryant Ford was one of several books written by Ford R. Bryan, a cousin of Henry Ford, who died on May 14, 2004, the day after his 92nd birthday. A superb Signed First Edition in a VG DJ. ISBN-0814329985. LOC SSM-08
