George Washington Carver: a life

Carver's George

Drifting toward life

A real human being

Booker

Dominion of poverty

"Stand up for the stupid and crazy"

Love and lynch mobs

Wrestling with devils

Bad days and worse

The curtain lifts

Trying to be serious

A real chemist?

Passion pure and simple

Suffering humanity

Fame and its discontents

Miles to go

A million thanks
