About the Book ~"The Enterprising Americans is a lively and perceptive account of the growth of American business, from its mercantile beginnings in New England and along the Delaware and James River valleys to the great trade and industrial complexes which span the free world of today. The story concentrates on the creative moments of men of decision. Virtual unknowns such as Sir William Pepperrell take their place with the more famous Eli Whitney, Carnegie, Ford, and J.P. Morgan. This is the story of the cotton gin and the locomotive, of steel and oil and electronics. It is also the story of the American dream, of the poor young man who, through wit, daring, and Yankee ingenuity, makes his way to the top and leaves his imprint on the generations to follow." ~ ~ ~ ~ ~This Book would be nice for any Historian, Business Person, Collector, or for anyone interested in History, Business, Economics, or the Growth of American Business!It would be a nice Gift!If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ SHIPPING & PAYMENT INFORMATION PLEASE USE THE SHIPPING CALCULATOR AT THE BOTTOMor contact us for a quote We will be happy to combine Shipping Charges for multiple purchases that can ship in the same package (for Domestic or International packages) Domestic or International EXPRESS MAIL shipping IS available upon request ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ International Buyers Please contact us for a shipping quote ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ International Buyers - Please Note Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges.
