John Burroughs and Henry Ford in the Quadricycle at the Highland Park Plant, June 1913
01
Artifact Overview
Perhaps a seemingly odd pair, automobile magnate Henry Ford and naturalist John Burroughs shared a love of nature. They had different feelings, however, concerning the automobile. Ford was determined to familiarize his friend with automobiles and convince him of their advantages. He eventually succeeded -- after this photograph was taken, Burroughs began using a Model T during field work.
