- THis is a great biography of a great man who is little known. His contributions to American life go far beyond HUdson Motor Car Co. Well written, easy read. A couple of redunencies that make you think you've read that before but doesn't detract at all from the book. A must for any enthusiasts library.
- Spellbinder!!!

- What a great read! This is a fascinating account of a true pioneer of the auto industry. Well written tale of the early days when cars really were crafted by hand and bootstrapping really meant something. Reminds me of the early days of tech--these guys were the Bill Gates of their era. Truly gripping account of a nascent industry.
