520 $aGeorge Washington Carver (1864-1943) is best know for developing new uses for agricultural crops and teaching methods of soil improvement to southern farmers. This annotated selection of his letters and other writings reveals the forces that shaped his creative genius, including the influence of persistent racism. His letters also show us Carver's deep love for his fellow man, whether manifested in his efforts to treat polio victims in the 1930s or in his emotionally charged friendships that lasted a lifetime. This edition includes a new chapter on the oral history interviews Kremer conducted with people who knew Carver. Also published here are newly uncovered documents and several photographs of Carver with friends.--INSIDE FLAP.
