Download or read book Haynes Apperson and America s First Practical Automobile written by W. C. Madden and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2003 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While Elwood Haynes and the Apperson brothers are not as well known as Henry Ford, Ransom Olds and other famous automobile manufacturers, their contributions to the automotive industry are just as significant. They were responsible for one of the first functioning automobiles, if not the first, in the United States. After building their automobile in 1894, the three men formed the Haynes-Apperson Automobile Company in Kokomo, Indiana, one of the first car manufacturing companies in the country. Three years after incorporation, a dispute over money caused the partnership to split up and Edgar and Elmer Apperson formed their own company. Both companies lasted until the mid-1920s. This book is a history of these automotive pioneers and their companies: the Haynes-Apperson Automobile Company, the Haynes Automobile Company, and the Apperson Brothers Automobile Company. It is richly illustrated with photographs of the factories, automobiles, personalities and advertisements.

Download or read book Hoosiers and the American Story written by Madison, James H. and published by Indiana Historical Society. This book was released on 2014-10 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A supplemental textbook for middle and high school students, Hoosiers and the American Story provides intimate views of individuals and places in Indiana set within themes from American history. During the frontier days when Americans battled with and exiled native peoples from the East, Indiana was on the leading edge of America’s westward expansion. As waves of immigrants swept across the Appalachians and eastern waterways, Indiana became established as both a crossroads and as a vital part of Middle America. Indiana’s stories illuminate the history of American agriculture, wars, industrialization, ethnic conflicts, technological improvements, political battles, transportation networks, economic shifts, social welfare initiatives, and more. In so doing, they elucidate large national issues so that students can relate personally to the ideas and events that comprise American history. At the same time, the stories shed light on what it means to be a Hoosier, today and in the past.

Download or read book Beyond the Pioneer written by Dave Griffey and published by Trafford. This book was released on 2006 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1996, there was a celebration in Detroit to recognize the 100th anniversary of the American automobile. As a tribute to the cars of old, a replica of the 1894 Haynes Pioneer was driven out on the stage. The original car is now on permanent display in the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D. C. That part of the ceremony brought to light the automobile heritage of Kokomo, Indiana, where the first car was built in 1893-94. The car was a success from the start and each of the following years, local mechanics continued to turn out new improved models. There were no auto parts stores anywhere, so every single item needed, had to be custom built, and if it didn't work, the part would be redesigned and built again and again. By 1898, the Kokomo automobile company was running strong and several other component manufacturers were starting up. By 1902, Kokomo had two automobile factories. In 1912, the Haynes Automobile Company began using the slogan, "America's First Car", the only automobile company to do so. The Haynes automobiles were fine cars and the company had a good nationwide dealer network. Everyone knew the car was promoted as the first car and other than an occasional grumble from one other old pioneer, Elwood Haynes was recognized as the inventor. In 1922, the Indiana Historical Commission and the Hoosier State Automobile Association recognized Mr. Haynes as the inventor of the "First Mechanically Successful Car." Like nearly all of the early automobile companies, the Kokomo plants closed in the mid-1920s, but the city was in fairly good shape, blessed with successful automobile component manufacturers and empty buildings which could be offered to new potential industry from out of town. After the factory closed and Mr. Haynes death, there began a gradual deterioration of the first car story and now, eighty years later, some historians even fail to mention the name of Elwood Haynes. It is my hope that this book will remind people just how important Kokomo, Indiana was to the history of the American Automobile Industry.
Download or read book Lost Car Companies of Detroit written by Alan Naldrett and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2016-01-25 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among more than two hundred auto companies that tried their luck in the Motor City, just three remain: Ford, General Motors and Chrysler. But many of those lost to history have colorful stories worth telling. For instance, J.J. Cole forgot to put brakes in his new auto, so on the first test run, he had to drive it in circles until it ran out of gas. Brothers John and Horace Dodge often trashed saloons during wild evenings but used their great personal wealth to pay for the damage the next day (if they could remember where they had been). David D. Buick went from being the founder of his own leading auto company to working the information desk at the Detroit Board of Trade. Author Alan Naldrett explores these and more tales of automakers who ultimately failed but shaped the industry and designs putting wheels on the road today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “ So far as I know, there is no book in circulation that tells, in concise form, the story of the mechanical and commercial evolution of the automobile, mirrors its sudden leap into popular use, and shows how it has demonstrated, in a most amazing way, the power of money to make money, describes its benefits to the world, and forecasts the future possibilities of the automobile industry as an investment. This book, the "Story of the Automobile," shows the struggle of man for one hundred and fifty years to devise a means of propelling a vehicle without animal power. It describes the various stages of the evolution of the idea of motive force other than animal power, in France, England, Germany and the United States, and its triumphant culmination in a successful horseless vehicle. And it makes clear how, when the automobile became of practical use, its successful commercialization became most profitable in the shortest period of time of that of any product of man's ingenuity supplying an article to meet human wants.” H. L. BARBER. Wheaton, Ill., April 2,1917.
