Description
The legendary life and entrepreneurial vision of Fred Harvey helped shape American culture and history of three generations--from the 1880's all the way through World War II--and still influence our lives today. Stephen Fried re-creates the life of this unlikely American hero, the founding father of the nation's service industry, whose remarkable family business civilized the West and introduced America to Americans.
