Relying on hard work and perseverance, Charles Benjamin Clark (C.B. Clark) transformed himself from a poverty stricken youth to having extreme wealth in one short lifetime. Read the fascinating story of a young man leaving New York to go to Wisconsin, his trials and triumphs during the Civil War, helping to establish the Kimberly-Clark Corporation and eventually watching it thrive, and his turn as a politician in the state of Wisconsin and in the United States House of Representatives. Included in the book are transcribed letters from C.B. Clark to his mother during the Civil War and other documents rescued from the Clark property in Neenah.
