2010 reprint of 1939 Edition. George Washington Carver (1864-1943)
was an American scientist, botanist, educator and inventor. Much of
Carver's fame is based on his research into and promotion of
alternative crops to cotton, such as peanuts and sweet potatoes. He
wanted poor farmers to grow alternative crops both as a source of
their own food and as a source of other products to improve their
quality of life. The most popular of his 44 practical bulletins for
farmers contained 105 food recipes that used peanuts. He also
promoted about 100 products made from peanuts that were useful for
the house and farm, including cosmetics, dyes, paints, plastics,
gasoline, and nitroglycerin. In addition to his work on
agricultural extension education for purposes of advocacy of
sustainable agriculture and appreciation of plants and nature,
Carver's important accomplishments also included improvement of
racial relations, mentoring children, poetry, painting, and
religion. He served as an example of the importance of hard work, a
positive attitude, and a good education. His humility,
humanitarianism, good nature, frugality, and rejection of economic
materialism also have been admired widely. This is the story of
Glenn Clark's friendship with Carver.
