It is written in a warm and engaging style, and the father's love and concern for his son are evident throughout. The Making of a Man is a timeless and inspiring work that offers valuable insights for readers of all ages.1921. From the Foreword: These letters were written by a business man to a very practical boy. They seek to show that all life should be productive and creative; that creative life is growth; that creation is going on now; that the world is a going concern; that the world is in the making; that man is in the making. They endeavor to help a boy to understand his part in this Great Experience, to make him realize that it is literally up to him to become a real man. The Boy�������s reactions and some of his letters in reply make a human-interest story which seems worth the telling.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
