On this episode of Our American Stories, Henry Ford did not invent the automobile, but he did something far more lasting. He took a rough idea and turned it into a tool that ordinary families could afford and understand. Historian Richard Snow tells the story from its beginning in a small woodshed, where Ford worked through long nights trying to build a machine that could move under its own power. What followed reshaped American travel, industry, and daily life for years to come.

Our American Stories tells stories that aren’t being told. Positive stories about generosity and courage, resilience and redemption, faith and love. Stories about the past and present. And stories about ordinary Americans who do extraordinary things each and every day. Stories from our listeners about their lives. And their history. In that pursuit, we hope we’ll be a place where listeners can refresh their spirit, and be inspired by our stories.
