The association between the name of Hershey and chocolate is so strong, it is hard to understand Milton Hershey’s first candy business was with caramels.  The highlights of Hershey’s life begin with his birth in 1857 and his first businesses making caramels in Philadelphia, Chicago, and New York.  In 1893, he saw chocolate being made and spent years looking for a correct recipe for his chocolate.  As his businesses grew, he added homes and towns for his employees.  He and his wife established a school for orphand boys.  He provided jobs, gave to charities, supported education, and made aailable cultural opportunities.  Since the camera was invented about the same time of Hershey’s life, most of the photographs are  black and white.  They are well chosen to complement the text.  Included is a timeline, chocolate facts, a glossary, an Abdo website with extra information, and an index.  this biography is an ample introduction to Milton Hershey.  Recommended for libraries.
