Review # 1 was written on 2007-12-28 00:00:00 Daniel Donovan Bo-ring. I wanted this to cover more of the drama in EW's personal life, like his marriage to his daughter. It didn't, which I guess I should've guessed from the book's subtitle. Damn.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-01-04 00:00:00 Jeffrey Ellis Another man with an dream - one who competed with the largest auto manufacturers in the 1920s and 1930s. Chapin was skilled in innovative concepts and an astute promoter. Signing Amelia Earhart on as an endorser - christening Orville Wright's Terraplane - was just what the company needed during the early years of the Great Depression. If you have an interest in automobiles, you will find Chapin's dedication to the Hudson Company extremely informative.
