... lived, making his career a transitional period. We will begin with the world before Ford. In the mid-latter part of the eighteen hundreds (c.1860-c.1895), the United States was still tending its wounds from the aftermath of the civil war. It was a time of rebuilding, reorganizing and a time to accept change. The country’s figureheads were also changing.

After the Mad Hatter asks the famous riddle, "Why is a raven like a writing-desk?" Alice thinks aloud, ". . . I believe I can guess ...
