Description

In 1847 an eighteen-year-old immigrant arrived in New York.

He had little in his pockets and no knowledge of English.

However, by 1874, people throughout the United States knew him as the man who made blue jeans with copper rivets.

Even now Levi Strauss's name lives on as a mark of quality and style.

In Mr. Blue Jeans, Maryann N. Weidt presents the history of this hardworking man, as he struggles through long, grueling days as a peddler and challenging times as a young businessman.

His honesty, integrity, and generosity stand out as clearly as his name, making this rags-to-riches story well worth reading.

The accurate and highly readable text is enriched by Lydia M. Anderson's dramatic black-and-white illustrations.
