Henry Ford and Thomas Edison's Trip to the Everglades
Jeff Guinn on Henry Ford and Thomas Edison's trip to the Everglades: "It was pointed out to them that there's not really any roads there and it's dangerous and there's alligators…and people could die…the trip lasted a day and a half. There was a monsoon. There were snakes. There were alligators. They fled, but they liked the idea."
