Letter from Highland Park High School Principal to Benjamin Lovett, January 16, 1926
Add to SetSummary
Like the collections of antique vehicles, farm equipment and cooking implements Ford began to amass with vigor during the 1920s--music was part of Ford's larger vision for preserving the American past. By this time, much of America had left traditional music behind. But Ford never forgot it. And, through Benjamin Lovett's instruction, Ford wanted to share it with new generations.
