In 1905, Paul Harris started a movement that today is one of the world’s premiere service organizations. His creation, Rotary International has quite literally touched the lives of hundreds of millions of people in its global quest to make a difference. Yet few people, both inside and outside of Rotary know much about Paul Harris or how his ground-breaking club developed. This number includes a majority of current Rotarians who have little knowledge or understanding about the man who started it all. For over a century, the relevant facts about his life and motivations have been clouded by myths and misconceptions. Now, with the discovery of hundreds of never before published letters, documents and exclusive archival sources, a better comprehension of the man and his times has emerged. This latest material gives new insight to who Paul Harris was. It provides answers to questions like: How did his early life in rural Wallingford, Vermont help forge his thoughts about Rotary? What role did his parents and grandparents play in developing his later actions? What happened during his college years that affected him for the rest of his life? Who were the men and women that influenced his ideals? When did Rotary and Paul Harris change directions and become more humanitarian? This book offers an in-depth look at how Paul Harris and early Rotary came into existence. It’s the story of one man’s struggle to find his inner self and how his philosophy changed the world.

Very informative, but too long
By Thaddeus Rex
You've got to do a lot of skimming to get through this puppy. I'm a big fan of Rotary, and learning the history of Paul Harris and how he started Rotary is fantastic. If you're looking for Rotary history, start with chapter 20. Then branch out to read whatever else interests you. If you want to know every single detail of Paul Harris's including his father's career and motives, then grab a blanket, make sure the fireplace is well stocked and prepare for a very long and informative read.

Paul Harris and the Birth of Rotary
By Larry Powe
This is an easy read. After overlooking a tremendous amount of grammatical errors throughout, as a Rotarian for ove 35 years, I was able to get a glimpse of the man, Paul Harris. The author obviously did a great deal of research for this writing. He oftentimes poses anecdotes in a way that has the reader conclude that verification is impossible. As in anyone's life, there are truths and then there are two different stories, interpretations, inadvertent fabrications, and just down-right lies. The author is very careful to advise when some of his related stories about the founder of Rotary International are more lore than factual. I recommend it.

Good story "marred by careless errors"
By Suzanne S. Barnhill
"Marred by careless errors" is what my high school English teachers used to write when correcting papers. As a copy editor, I found this book so painful to read that I deferred it till Lent, regarding it as penitential reading (and I've still reached only page 39). It is really a shame that a book with so much good information should suffer from such poor (or, more likely, no) copy editing, a common failing of self-published books.
It is not unusual for me to read a book with pencil in hand, but to have to make dozens of corrections on every page is quite unprecedented. When the author manages to avoid errors of grammar, spelling, punctuation, capitalization, or syntax, he introduces logical errors that are often risible (I collect this kind of "howler," but I could start a new collection with this book). Dangling participles are just the beginning of his problems. One example: "At some point, the slow ticking of the old banjo clock that hung on the north wall, working in harmony with the sitting room clock began chiming attention to the lateness of the hour." Hmm, the ticking began chiming, eh?
As a Rotarian (20 years with perfect attendance, and daughter of a Rotarian with 50+ years of perfect attendance), I would be willing to read all the tedious background (mentioned by other reviewers) if the writing were not so flawed, but this book is really testing my devotion to Rotary.
There is no question that the author has done his research. It is meticulously documented--even to the point of absurdity, as when a straightforward description of the location of Wallingford, Vermont ("The village of Wallingford is located almost ten miles south of Rutland, nestled in a small valley between two ranges of the Green Mountains"), has a footnote citing "AAA Road Map 2006 edition and MapQuest." Perhaps the 50+ pages of notes could have been reduced if some such had been omitted.
I appreciate the work the author has done in compiling this information. I just wish that I (or some other copy editor) had had a chance to edit it before it was published. I would also have made recommendations about the layout. The size of the book makes it less than ideal to hold and read; reducing the leading would have resulted in a thinner or perhaps smaller book. But at least the double spacing allows plenty of room for corrections (there is none in the skimpy margins).
