1891 Poetry Collection-Henry Ford
Posted: Thu Aug 31, 2017 8:12 am
This is kind of neat. Somewhere along the way, I bought an 1891 book called "Poems of History" and I page through it once in awhile. Never paid much attention to the metadata.
However, last night I looked at the title page and it says
"Chosen and Annottated by- Henry A. Ford, A.M."
Published in Detroit, Michigan by the F.B. Dickerson Company in 1891.
It has to be a different Henry Ford because the preface was written in 1883 and he talks about how he had felt for many years the need for a poetry collection of this type. The "Henry Ford" was born about 1860.
