But before he distinguished himself in that trio of pursuits he was an enterprising young boy in a small Louisiana town on the bluffs of a fast flowing river, making money any way he could, from selling figs in syrup cans to providing cigarettes and candy from his father’s general store to inmates in the county jail - for a price, of course.
Throughout his long life he has been guided by principals of hard work and honest dealing that he learned from his parents, good people with not much in the way of a formal education. They ran several businesses that turned good profits at the very height of the Great Depression.
Arch Aplin’s story is full to brimming with the American Dream, practical ways to go about achieving it, and, because he sees it as greatly tarnished and even restricted in recent times, ways to bring us back to the greatness that we once knew in this country.
The Road to Enterprise is the story of a life well and meaningfully lived. And it is the story of Americans facing great conflicts – in both war and peace.voir moins
