The TRAGIC Story Of The Dodge Brothers

In 1887, two brothers named John and Horace Dodge arrived at Detroit, with nothing more than their ambitions and each other. A few years later, and they were now operating one of the biggest machine shops in Detroit, working for a man who would forever shape the future of the automotive industry, Henry Ford But what many people don't know, is that the brothers were really the ones who helped make the Ford company into a massive success, building almost every component of their vehicles to the best quality possible. Without them the Model T wouldn't never existed, and perhaps the Ford Motor Company wouldn't even be here today. Vet, they have remained obscure figures, their legacy's hidden behind the shadows of Mr. Henry Ford.The partnership between the two would also turn into rivalry, when the brothers open their own car company and joined the competition for the automobile market, at one point, becoming the second best-selling car company in the U.S., behind no other, than their long-time rival. However, this is where the brother's luck fell apart leaving behind a legacy that nobody seems to recognize yet, having their names marked in millions of automobiles around the world.
