Life of George Washington Carver

George Washington Carver spent his life asking questions and looking for the answers. He gained a reputation as the farmers' best friend. He taught farmers about crop rotation, which meant instructing them to grow peanuts and sweet potatoes to "e;rest"e; their soil between cotton crops. What could they do with all those peanuts? Carver developed more than three hundred peanut-based products including milk and printers' ink. He also invented more than a hundred ways to use sweet potatoes. A section at the back of this book shares some of his recipes. Biographer Barbara Kramer entertainingly educates readers with her narrative about this modern marvel.
