Peter Cooper is a biography written by Elbert Hubbard about the life and accomplishments of Peter Cooper, an American industrialist, inventor, and philanthropist. The book explores Cooper's humble beginnings as the son of a hat maker, his rise to success as a businessman in the iron industry, and his many contributions to society. Hubbard delves into Cooper's inventions, including the first steam locomotive, and his founding of Cooper Union, a free college for the arts and sciences in New York City. The book also highlights Cooper's political activism, including his involvement in the abolitionist movement and his run for president in 1876 as the candidate of the Greenback Party. Overall, Peter Cooper is a comprehensive and inspiring portrait of a remarkable figure in American history.THIS 38 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Little Journeys to the Homes of the Great: Businessmen, by Elbert Hubbard.
