More Than Chocolate - The Life of Milton Hershey

"We've already done more than our share to help you, but you're a Hershey, Henry the dreamer's legitimate son. You'll never stick with something long enough for it to work," said his uncle Abraham. Milton swallowed hard. He suspected his Snavely family had given up on him, but the words were hurtful.

When Hershey bars were launched in 1905, few knew the hard work, dedication, and sacrifice that preceded the success. Milton never gave up, he learned from his mistakes, he spent his whole life creating sweets. And when his company took off, he used his wealth to take care of others; he founded a town for Hershey workers, a school for needy children, and created a foundation dedicated to education, culture, and health.
