About George Washington Carver: A Tour of His Life
Abstract
Born out of slavery and reared in Reconstruction, this humble man emerged to become a great benefactor to his people and his section. George Washington Carver was born into slavery during the Civil War, in the midst of bloody guerrilla warfare in Missouri. A tiny, sickly baby, he was soon orphaned, and his very survival beyond infancy was against the laws of nature.
