Easton Press, Norwalk CT. 1994 Linda O. McMurry "George Washington Carver: Scientist and Symbol" Limited Edition. Luxuriously bound with full genuine leather with 22kt gold accents. The Library of Great Lives with original collector's notes.

Forward by Lafayette Frederick.

How did George Washington Carver, whose concrete accomplishments on paper did not amount to much more that "doing something" with peanuts, sweet potatoes, homemade paint and recipes, come to be known as a great man who made brilliant inventions? How was it that his more significant contributions were lost in the myth-making that surrounded him? The author addresses these questions and others as she joins biography with a sensitive exploration of Carver as a symbol of black ability and achievement and the rewards of tolerance, and demonstrates his immense impact at a difficult point in the history of American race relations
