5.0 out of 5 stars F. W. Woolworth and the American Five and Dime, May 13, 2010

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Definitely recommend this book. This book touches tons of American history starting from the end of the Civil War, World War I and II, Spanish Flu, prohibition, Presidents, Labor Laws, Civil Rights, Woman's suffrage movement etc. The dramatic and sad lives of the Woolworth Family are also inter-woven throughout the story during these tumultuous times. Not only does this book offer a mini American history lesson, but it also describes the perils of great wealth bestowed on the Woolworth heirs and how negatively their lives were affected! Very enjoyable read.
