The Road to Carriage Town

This is a project that I've been working on for quite some time - how the carriage industry affected Michigan cities and towns. How did the rise of labor unions affect carriage manufacturers? Were safety features being implemented to prevent fires, which were a major issue for the carriage industry? Thus far I've written two articles for The Carriage Journal on the topic and have presented two talks. 

This is a copy of one of the talks. I suggest starting at the 4 minute mark as there are some sound issues prior to that.
