MILTON HERSHEY YOUNG CHOCOLATIER

HERSHEY MILTON YOUNG CHOCOLATIER by M. M. Eboch

Today is World Chocolate Day!! How can we let that pass without CELEBRATING?!! Therefore, this post will be about Claire, my oldest child who is now the ripe old age of 20! (This coming from her ancient mother of 46!)

Claire loved this series of books called The Childhood of Famous Americans. Her first intro to the series was Milton Hershey, and she was hooked!

Life was not always easy for Hershey. During his childhood the Civil War raged. He grew up with a father that had big dreams that rarely came true, and that caused a lot of division in his home. Despite this he was able to build the amazing chocolate business that is a name everyone recognizes still today!
