The Americanization of Edward Bok (Esprios Classics)

Edward William Bok (born Eduard Willem Gerard Cesar Hidde Bok) (October 9, 1863 - January 9, 1930) was a Dutch-born American editor and Pulitzer Prize-winning author. He was editor of the Ladies' Home Journal for 30 years (1889-1919). He also distributed popular home-building plans and created Bok Tower Gardens in central Florida. Bok was born in Den Helder, Netherlands to a wealthy, prominent family. After his father lost most of his wealth due to bad investment decisions, the family immigrated to Brooklyn, New York when Edward was six years of age. In Brooklyn, he washed the windows of a bakery shop after school to help support his family.
