Born a slave in Missouri, he left home in search of an education, eventually earning his master's degree. When Booker T. Washington invited Carver to start the agricultural department at the all-black-staffed Tuskegee Institute, Carver truly found his calling. He spent the rest of his life seeking solutions to the poverty among landless Black farmers by developing new uses for soil-replenishing crops such as peanuts, cowpeas, and sweet potatoes. This STEAM biography reveals Carver's complex and profoundly devout life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marilyn Nelson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wordsong\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/11\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 6.00w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781635925616\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAge Range:\u003c\/b\u003e 8-12\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.9\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 1\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e59113 \/ Carver: A Life in Poems\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMarilyn Nelson is a professor of English at the University of Connecticut and lives in Storrs, CT.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wordsong","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42082648686745,"sku":"9781635925616","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0572\/3367\/0297\/files\/img_fb8fb88a-d212-42f5-8b7f-a3ed68533b4a.jpg?v=1724556523","url":"https:\/\/bookmarksretail.store\/products\/carver-a-life-in-poems","provider":"Bookmarks Retail","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
