Did you ever wonder just who McDonald, Gillette, or Campbell were--and why a fast-food-restaurant chain, safety shaving blades, and canned soup products bear their names? "Made in America" answers these questions and more in a concise guide featureing 74 histories of the people who are the real household names of the nation. Short biographies of each entrepreneur are presented with trivia defining the sucesses and failures--as well as the eccentricities--of those behind America's most recognizable products.

Most of the entrepreneurs came from humble backgrounds. They were driven by blind hope and straining with tireless effort, often against the advice of nearly everyone. They all shared one common trait: an obsession with excellence and a willingness to pour heart and fortune into making their companies work and their products become the best they could.

Many thought far beyond the limits of their enterprises, and believed in grandiose world-changing visions.

I don't know where I picked up this book, but I am so thankful that I had the opportunity to read it.
