About the author
Born in Philadelphia in 1880, Samuel Crowther built a career as a journalist and nonfiction writer with a gift for explaining complicated subjects in a clear, approachable way. He wrote on business, industry, travel, and sport, and his work appeared in widely read magazines during the first half of the 20th century.
He is best remembered for books written with or about industrial leaders, especially Henry Ford. Crowther helped shape a style of popular business writing that mixed reporting, profile, and practical insight, giving general readers a window into the ideas and personalities behind modern American industry.
Crowther died in 1947. Today he remains of interest as a sharp observer of the business world of his time and as a prolific author whose collaborations captured the ambitions and arguments of an era.
