ArtifactLetter from Edsel Ford to Clara and Henry Ford, November 8, 1916
After their wedding on November 1, 1916, Edsel and Eleanor Ford traveled to the West Coast before sailing to Hawaii. Along the way, the couple stopped and visited the Grand Canyon. Edsel penned this brief letter to his parents in which he recounts some of the events during the newlyweds' stay: a blinding snowstorm, Presidential election returns, and "real cow boy life."
