Sanchez · Answer 1

a website providing a timeline of Ford's life

This would be the best source to confirm the information. A travel brochure about Dearborn, MI may not contain the information about when Ford was born or how his family viewed their economic status. A book about farming in the 1800s would be able to give information about the types of technologies available to farmers. It would show that finding a means to better transportation could be useful, but it would not describe Ford's life in Dearborn. Also, an article about the Ford Motor Corporation may not have the necessary information since it is about the Corporation not Ford himself. The only source that actually is about Henry Ford is the timeline of his life.
