After fifteen years of operating a successful automotive supplier company  John and Horace Dodge again changed the face of the automotive market in 1914 by introducing their own car. The Dodge Brothers automobile carried on their names even after their untimely deaths in 1920  which led to its sale in 1925 to New York bankers and subsequent purchase in 1928 by Walter Chrysler. Hyde not only details the brothers lives and influence on automotive manufacturing and marketing trends in the early part of the twentieth century but also their civic contributions to Detroit  their hiring of African Americans and women  and their often anonymous charitable contributions to local organizations. Despite their achievements and their critical role in the early success of Henry Ford  John and Horace Dodge are usually overlooked in histories of the early automotive industry  but Hyde has put them front and center again to appropriately credit their lasting legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45666023637045,"sku":"ByrdShop_0814332463","price":23.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780814332467.jpg?v=1782415535","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-dodge-brothers-the-men-the-motor-cars-and-the-legacy-great-lakes-books-9780814332467","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
