Henry Ford was born on July 30, 1863. He is most famous for being the founder of the Ford Motor Company and the development of the assembly line technique for mass production. His introduction of the Ford Model T automobile changed transportation and American industry and allowed the average person to be able to afford the purchase of a car.
Henry Ford looked up to Thomas Edison so much, that he built a winter home next to the Edison winter home in Florida.
Henry Ford also built a car made of Hemp plastic and that ran on Hemp Oil. Unfortunately, the hemp plant was made illegal by the United States Government. Henry recognized the value of using a renewable source for making plastic and fuel and was ahead of his time.
