    Sounds fascinating. And as a history buff right up my alley.

    I just read this a couple weeks ago… it is a very good read… Henry Ford did a lot of good things, but this idea wasn’t one of them. Oh, and the town itself wasn’t very big… the entire concession was about the size of Delaware. There’s some more information on it here:

    henry ford, huh? i agree with brian— he did do a lot of interesting things, but this really was not one of his better ones. this book has been out for a while, strange that it’s still on all of the lists. those that create the lists of reccomendations obviously have yet to read this one.
