Can a "meat merchant" become a "wise guide" for his son in the paths of life? In the book "Letters from a Self-Made Merchant to His Son," George Horace Lorimer presents us with a collection of letters that embody a unique parental relationship in which "the wisdom of experience" is mixed with "the warmth of feelings." Through these letters, we learn about John Graham, the self-made merchant who started from scratch to become a successful businessman. We share with his son, "Pierrebond," his journey in the world of work and life. We derive lessons from his father's advice in dealing with challenges, business management, and the balance between ambition and moral values. Although some of Graham's advice may seem inappropriate for our current times, it provides us with an authentic glimpse into the values ¿¿of hard work and personal success in ancient America.
