Trade paperback. First edition. 195 p. It may have been the end of the line for the Southern Pacific Railroad workers, but it was merely the beginning for Casa Grande. Terminus, as it was originally called, was established on the blistering summer afternoon of May 19, 1879, when approximately 1, 300 railroad laborers temporarily halted construction of the rail line. The following year, Southern Pacific executives officially renamed the settlement Casa Grande. In 1912, Evans T. Richardson established the Casa Grande Times, a small newspaper that later became part of the Casa Grande Dispatch. "The Fire" almost wiped out off the the businesses in town in 1914 and was the principal reason for the city's incorporation the following year. For the last century, Casa Grande has endured good and bad economic times, hosted games with a handful of Hall of Fame baseball players, trained future astronauts and seen the likes of John Wayne, Pat Boone and Willie Mays. All the while, the Dispatch has been there. As the oldest business in town, we have done more than preserve the area's history; we are a part of it. To commemorate a century of bringing you news and information in the area, we present Casa Grande: A Century of Progress. Fine. Signed by author. inscribed by the authors.

Few endeavors in history can match Ford Motor Company's impact on human civilization. Launched a century ago by a bumptious squad of clever eccentrics - led by the odd visionary mechanic Henry Ford - the first mass-production auto manufacturer pushed the rest of the industrialized world into the modern age. Along with other social upheavals, Ford's reasonably priced and well-made assembly-line Model T would mobilize America's middle class, while the company's cleverly generous "$5 Day" did no less than redefine industrial labor relations. Wheels for the World by Douglas Brinkley, one of our finest and most engaging historians, is the sweeping saga of how Henry Ford and Ford Motor Company changed our world. In this monumental work, Brinkley reveals the riveting details of Ford Motor Company's epic achievements, from the outlandish success of the Tin Lizzie to the beloved Model A and V-8, through the glory days of the Thunderbird, Mustang, and Taurus. A revolving door of brilliant innovators appears in every chapter, including Thomas Edison, Alfred Sloan, the Wright brothers, Diego Rivera, and Charles Lindbergh. Three factories also become characters in this gripping drama: Highland Park, River Rouge, and Willow Run, where B-24 airplanes were mass-produced during World War II. Brinkley tells of Ford Motor Company's expansion throughout the world, as well as the amazing acquisitions of Volvo, Land Rover, Jaguar, and Mazda in the 1990s. His narrative also explores Ford Motor Company's darker aspects, including its founder's anti-Semitism and ill-considered wartime pacifism. Along the way, Brinkley introduces us to the whole cast of colorful businessmen, from the irascible early brains of the outfit, James Couzens (later a U.S. senator), to feisty CEO Lee Iacocca to the earnest young chairman and CEO of today, William Clay Ford, Jr., whose dedication and vision currently guide Ford through difficult times. A first-rate narrative and business history of the preeminent American corporations, Wheels for the World distinguished not only by the freshness of the fascinating new material that Brinkley has uncovered but also by the sweep of his story and the compelling clarity of his prose. In his many previous books, Brinkley proved himself a master at crafting brilliant, accessible historical narratives, and Wheels for the World is his finest achievement yet.
