The Essential Automobile

Americans love their automobiles, but it wasn't always so. When the first cars rolled off the assembly line, they were considered by many to be dangerous and a disruption of society. But by the 1920s, the automobile had moved from a luxury item and curiosity, to an essential part of the lives of millions of Middle Class Americans. Author Ralph E. Jarrells takes readers on a journey through the fascinating history of the development of the automobile.
