Henry Ford on PBS

[Bruce Adams]

Did I miss anything said on EVANGELINE DAHLINGER, his personal secretary, whom I believe Henry built an adjoining mansion for her and her "Husband" his chauffer, and supposedly had secret passages to her bed room and a son who claims old Henry was his father?

Didn't see / hear a peep about it. I tuned-in right around the famous race against Alexander Winton in 1901 (?), so I saw coverage of the time-period of the supposed Dahlinger dalliance...

The book "The Secret Life Of Henry Ford" by John Cote Dahlinger, published in 1978 gives much insight into this aspect of Henry's life. In my opinion John Dahlinger was the object of much doting by Henry. Draw your own conclusions.
