George Washington Carver
Born: 1860
Birthplace: Diamond Grove, Missouri
Died: 5 January 1943
Best Known As: The great peanut innovator
George Washington Carver was a celebrated botanist and inventor at a time when it was still rare for African-Americans to reach those heights. The son of a Missouri slave, Carver grew up to attend Iowa State University, earning a bachelor's degree in 1894 and a master's in 1896. He then joined the faculty of Booker T. Washington's Tuskegee Institute. His attempts to find crop alternatives to cotton led him to the peanut; eventually he created more than 325 products from the humble legume, helping to create demand for the plant and establish it as a major American crop. Carver also worked with sweet potatoes, soybeans and pecans, among other plants, and is often credited with changing the face of agriculture in the American south.

Carver's exact birthdate is unknown; a Missouri census record from 1870 lists George Carver as 10 years old; a photo of that record can be found here... He was an accomplished artist who displayed paintings at the 1893 Chicago World's Fair... Carver is often credited with inventing peanut butter, but it seems others had created that product before Carver began his work with peanuts... He is no relation to President George Washington. According to the Wikipedia, Carver began to use the name George Washington Carver at Iowa State "to avoid confusion with another George Carver in his classes"... Carver was posthumously awarded the degree of Doctor of Humane Letters by Iowa State in 1994
Carver discovered three hundred uses for peanuts and hundreds more uses for soybeans, pecans and sweet potatoes. Among the listed items that he suggested to southern farmers to help them economically were his recipes and improvements to/for: adhesives, axle grease, bleach, buttermilk, chili sauce, fuel briquettes, ink, instant coffee, linoleum, mayonnaise, meat tenderizer, metal polish, paper, plastic, pavement, shaving cream, shoe polish, synthetic rubber, talcum powder and wood stain. Three patents were issued to Carver
