Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
This story is one of many about americans who have made a difference that touched everyone of us, yet they remain unrecognized. Jake Simmons helped American companies open up the Nigeria oil fields yet none of us have heard of him. I read this book several years ago and still recommend it to friends who should learn about real American role models. Those who have made great strides under difficult conditions and won. His successes and failures were accomplished with dignity, fortitude, dedicated work ethic and a quiet pride. They exemplify values that seem to have been lost in recent years. This book also tells an interesting story of the relationship between Native Americans and Blacks throughout the history of the country. A very good read.
