A Man for All Seasons: The Life of Ceorge Washington Carver

Illustrated by Wil Clay
HarperCollins, 2008

George Washington Carver was an African American slave born during the last months of the Civil War.
From such an unlikely beginning, he grew up to become one of the most respected scientists of his time,
making significant contributions to the field of agriculture and serving as an educational leader in the
national black community.  His struggles and triumphs are handsomely documented in this story of his life,
which spanned almost eighty years, from 1864-1943.
