Classical landscape by Charles Sheeler is an exterior oil on canvas of the Estate of Mrs. Edsel B. Ford, Grosse Pointe Farms (figure 1) filled with deep, hidden irony. It was painted in 1931, and is based on a watercolor study. It’s a calm, clean, and serene painting that takes your breath away.

Edsel is right to call it the ‘Greatest Treasure Hunt in History’ because of the brutal and burdensome work that when into this stringent mission and the primary sources used demonstrate exactly what the Monuments Men had gone through and the level of commitment that was put into what they were doing. However, despite it being a non-fiction narrative, Edsel elects to include small scenes of dialogue. This invention was not effect

Henry Ford In 1890, trains were the only thing being mass produced. On average most Americans lived and died within ten miles from where they were born, but that changed as soon as an infrastructure was being developed.
