Summary: "Old Gorgon Graham" by George Horace Lorimer is a collection of letters written in the early 20th century. The correspondence mainly features John Graham, a successful pork packer from Chicago, as he writes to his son, Pierrepont, who is taking his first steps in the family business. The letters cover lessons in business ethics, family dynamics, and personal development, often delivered with a blend of humor and wisdom. The opening of the book sets a lively tone as John Graham addresses Pierrepont, blending paternal advice with candid observations about business and life. Graham emphasizes the importance of hard work and earning one's place in the world, cautioning against nepotism and the pitfalls of relying too heavily on family connections. As he discusses various topics—from managing responsibilities at work to navigating personal relationships—Graham's colorful anecdotes and straightforward style reveal his character as both a mentor and an industrious father, laying the groundwork for a narrative deeply entangled with practical wisdom that resonates through the ages.
