Summary

“Most people search high and wide for the key to success,” George Washington Carver pondered. “If they only knew, the key to their dreams lies within.” True to his philosophy, the key to Dr. Carver’s almost legendary success story was to be found within the man himself. From slavery to fame, from errand boy to botanical genius, Carver’s accomplishments, popularity, and legacy were all ignited by the vision he carried within.

From this audiobook, you will learn about:

  • The $300 Boy
  • From slave to college graduate
  • The clash of the two Washingtons
  • The Jesup wagon
  • Carver's peanuts
  • Later life and death
  • And much more!

Often, George Washington Carver is remembered only as the man who could make almost anything out of peanuts. That was only part of his story.
