Henry Ford and the horse named Jericho



In 1928 Henry Ford was in the process of setting up and acquiring artifacts for his museum at Dearborn Michigan. The Brooklyn City Railroad donated this 1860s horsecar

Part of the photo op was Mr. Ford driving the horse car but the horse "Jericho" refused to move. Henry told the press, who was urging him to wave his whip; "I wouldn't whip that horse for anything!" at which point the horse proceeded to move.
