Summary:
"This book aims to retrace the life and work of Pierre-Samuel Du Pont de Nemours, a multifaceted man whose influence extended from the Parisian salons of the eighteenth century to the shores of the New World, by exploring the unique trajectory of his life, drawing on a wealth of documentation and contemporary accounts . This individual study not only does justice to a man whose work and ideas continue to inspire academics around the world, but also explores a part of Franco-American history that is often overlooked."--Back cover.
