Life in the Shadows of the Crystal Palace, 1910-1927: Ford Workers in the Model T Era

This book shows how Ford's first large automotive plant-the Crystal Palace-transformed the sleepy village of Highland Park, Michigan, into an industrial boomtown that later became an urban ghetto, and the first American city whose life and well-being depended entirely upon the employment and production policies of the automotive industry.
