My Father, My Brother: A History of Godfrey L. Cabot, Inc

"Godfrey Lowell Cabot was a frontiersman in the days when it was still possible to be one. While others in his Harvard class sat at their desks in State Street, he headed west and made his fortune in the hills, hardy as any Forty-Niner. His offspring, led by son Thomas D. Cabot, built is small carbon-black business, originally based in western Pennsylvania, into a global concern with interest in chemicals, energy, and oil-field equipment. In 1960, their firm was renamed Cabot Corporation, now a world leader in specialty chemicals and plastics. Spanning a century, My Father, My Brother is the story of three generations of the Cabot family, as they fought, sometimes with each other, to build not only a company but a reputation - for the highest in quality, service, and technological innovation."--Dust jacket.
