Excerpt from Booker T. Washington: Builder of a CivilizationThis is not a biography in the ordinary sense. The exhaustive Life and Letters of Booker T. Washington re mains still to be compiled. In this more modest work we have simply sought to present and interpret the chief phases of the life of this man who rose from a slave boy to be the leader of ten millions of people and to take his place for all time among America's great men. In fact, we have not even touched upon his childhood, early training, and education, because we felt the story of those early strug gles and privations had been ultimately Well told in his own words in Up from Slavery. This autobiography, however, published as it was fifteen years before his death, brings the story of his life only to the threshold of his greatest achievements. In this book we seek to give the full fruition of his life's work. Each chapter is complete in itself. Each presents a complete, although by no means exhaustive, picture of some phase of his life.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
