Who Was George Washington Carver? Read Free Books and Download eBooks
Born in 1860s Missouri, nobody expected George Washingtoni Carver to succeed. Slaves were not allowed to be educated. After the Civil War, Carver enrolled in classes and proved to be a star student. He became the first black student at Iowa State Agricultural College and later its first black professor. He went on to the Tuskegee Institute where he specialized in botany (the study of plants) and developed techniques to grow crops better. His work with vegetables, especially peanuts, made him famous and changed agriculture forever. He went on to develop nearly 100 household products and over 100 recipes using peanuts.

The Who Was series of books is great for my 6 year old grandson who likes to read about real people. This particular book did not provide enough information about George Washington Carver's discoveries or creations to my satisfaction. I would love to know more about him.
Great book! My son 9 year old enjoyed reading this book. I enjoyed reading it too. Interesting and very informative.
