John Perry presents us with a biography of a genius who was born a slave in Missouri−George Washington Carver. This biography delivers an entertaining account and perspective of George Washington Carver’s life. Perry shows us that Carver was truly a remarkable man−a devout Christian, a scientist, an artist, a teacher, a businessman, a healer−he wore many, many hats. Perry carries us from Carver’s birth in 1863 through his death on January 5, 1943.
Perry writes this biography in simple, easy-to-understand language, which immensely makes this book quite enjoyable to read and very hard to put down. It is more like reading an enjoyable story rather than a biography, but it is backed by notes (footnotes) and a bibliography. Perry has truly done an outstanding job in writing this biography.
It is so sad, and too bad, that George Washington Carver is not recognized in our world today as he should be for he did so much for the entire world. I feel many would enjoy reading this book.
