Description:
"An American Odyssey is the story of Jonathan Westervelt Warner - Jack - entrepreneur, art collector, and philanthropist. The grandson of Herbert Westervelt, founder of the E-Z Opener Bag Company that became Gulf States Paper Corporation in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, and the son of Mildred Westervelt Warner, former president of Gulf States, Jack Warner has kept alive his family's practices of business management and good works. He has also initiated a new tradition: since 1970 he has assembled an exceptional collection of American fine and decorative arts from the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth centuries." "Warner's collection responds to his special interests and his fascination with all aspects of America's history and heritage."--BOOK JACKET.
