About The Author - George S. Clason GEORGE SAMUEL CLASON was born in Louisiana, Missouri, in November 1847. He attended the University of Nebraska and served in the United States Army during the Spanish-American War.   A successful businessman, he founded the Clason Map Company of Denver, Colorado, and published the first road atlas of the United States and Canada.

He would like to do something for this grandson, but the more he
