The story opens in 1902 as the author depicts the stormy love affair between earthy machinist John Dodge and his ambitious secretary Matilda Rausch -- daughter of a saloon keeper. Important early automotive history, stressing the Dodge-Ford relationship, provides a major and intriguing motif. The history emphasizes the major differences between the Dodge brothers and Henry Ford, as well as the strange parallels that touched the lives of the two families. For the first time, the strange story of the "cast-off Siamese Twin" -- an alleged Dodge daughter -- is disclosed with all its complex twists. Tangled Web: Legacy of Auto Pioneer John F Dodge
