Artifact Overview

Henry Ford sued the Chicago Tribune for defaming his reputation with the headline "Ford is an Anarchist." During the trial in 1919, Ford's famous quote, "history is more or less bunk," was used to mock him. Henry Ford was not ignorant of history, but opinionated about it. To him, technology and everyday life were more important than war and politics.
