Abstract | This dialogue is based on the life and success of George Peabody and the Peabody Institute Library, Danvers, Massachusetts. The dialogue is between two researchers who have spent years studying the life of George Peabody. The script recounts the difficulties faced by the poorly educated youngster who grew to become one of the wealthiest men in the United States. Peabody's educational philanthropy is recounted, along with many personal details of the man's life. A chronology of George Peabody's life is included at the end of the document. (EH) |
