Who Was H. J. Heinz?

Great for my middle school biography projects!!

My 10 year old son read this book for a school project. Henry J Heinz is a great example of a responsible business owner.

Would buy again!

The series is great. I love it. I cannot recommend it highly enough. But, I hate this one book. Heinz was not a good person. He was a massive and out spoken anti-semite and his hatred is a matter of public record. He also spent large amounts of money funding politicians in exchange for extremely dividing racist policies. He was not a secrete hate monger, but a public one. I haven't read the Columbus one from the series, or the Rosa Parks one. But those would be the only ones I would worry about historical accuracy. I never thought they would do a book on Heinz, but I had to see what they said. This book is not historically accurate and this man was a massive hate monger and worked hard to ruin this country. Stick to the others in the series, this one is a black spot on the series.

About a guy who tended the family garden and was allowed to sell any extra of the crops. he started a business the he turned into a company, until an economic downturn caused him to declare bankruptcy. He reorganized and began anew, building a world-wide food empire. Story that I did not know.
