Who was Levi Strauss? / by Ellen Labrecque ; illustrated by Stephen Marchesi.

Labrecque, Ellen, (author.). Marchesi, Stephen, (illustrator.).

Summary:

"As a young working-class German immigrant, Levi Strauss left his family's dry goods business in New York City to journey out west for the California Gold Rush. Only Levi wasn't looking for gold--he wanted to provide the miners with sturdy clothes to wear while they worked in the dusty river beds. His solution? Blue jeans--pants made of strong denim fabric--which have become one of the most beloved and fashionable clothing items in the world"-- Provided by publisher.
