The Culver Brothers : The Unfortunate Truth

The Civil War was over, Reconstruction had begun and the plantation gave way to the share cropper and homesteader. This business minded trio, wagons laden with stoves and calendar clocks, "peddled" their way to success as door-to-door salesmen; fueled by the "buy now - pay later" mentality of this newly created class of consumer. Rising to the top, the brothers created two of the largest stove manufacturing companies in the United States, only to be torn apart by greed and hatred for one another. The antique stove or clock enthusiast will find this book of interest.
