Henry Ford read and admired the works of John Burroughs. In the early 1910s, Ford sought out the internationally known naturalist and writer. The two bonded over their love of birds and nature and became friends. Ford and Burroughs often visited each another and went on extended vacations with family and other acquaintances. Ford also gave Burroughs his first automobile -- a Model T.
