Part 2 - covering the lost rubber plantation of the Ford Motor Company - Fordlandia - the rise and fall!

Reference given to Fordlanda: The Rise and Fall of Henry Ford's Forgotten Jungle City - By Greg Landon. - Excellent read if you get the chance - a lot of the background was given from research with Greg's book - plus from many of the same references included in his book - (A finalist for the Pulitzer Prize) -

Disclaimer Note - Fordlandia had a re-population take place around the 2000's - as of 2017 it is populated at 3,000-

It was virtually a Ghost Town (Abandoned Ford Plantation) from the 1940's - through the early 2000s - It's still a fantastic story -

Thanks for following along!
