About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Putting the Most Into Life by Booker T. Washington. Read by Andrew Kennedy The chapters in this little book were originally part of a series of Sunday Evening Talks given by the Principal to the students of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute. They have been recast from the second to the third person, and many local allusions have been cut out. They are now sent out, in response to repeated requests, to a larger audience than that to which they were first spoken. - Summary by Booker T. Washington
