George Washington Carver (1864-1943), best known for his work as a scientist and a botanist, was an anomaly in his own time—a black man praised by white America. This selection of his letters and other writings reveals both the human side of Carver and the forces that shaped his creative genius. They show us a Carver who was both manipulated and manipulative who had inner tensions and anxieties. But perhaps more than anything else, these letters allow us to see Carver's deep love for his fellow man, whether manifested in his efforts to treat polio victims in the 1930s or in his incredibly intense and emotionally charged friendships that lasted a lifetime. The editor has furnished commentary between letters to set them in context.

Whether as a statesman, military man, or America's first president, George Washington was a legend in his own lifetime, so renowned in fact that the adulation has knit together making it difficult to find the real man. Here, constitutional scholar and editor John P. Kaminski has plumbed the depth of 30 years-worth of his own research to amass an extraordinary body of quotations by and about Washington to paint an intimate word portrait that brings us closer to the essence of America's "man of action."
