Published in 1921, Peter B. Kyne's "The Go-Getter" quickly ascended into the canon of beloved American business literature. Echoing the rags-to-riches optimism of the early 20th century, this motivational parable of determination and perseverance in the face of adversity has inspired generations of entrepreneurs and workers. The story follows young World War I veteran Bill Peck as he embarks on a make-or-break business trip across the country. Given nine days to secure a lucrative deal by his ailing employer, Peck encounters setback after setback. Undeterred, he meets every new challenge with wit, grit and zeal, evolving from amateur dreamer to consummate go-getter before readers' eyes. Kyne's underdog tale struck an immediate chord in the postwar economic boom. By 1923 the book was already in its sixth printing, eventual sales topping half a million copies worldwide. Its popularity crossed class divides, finding audiences from corporate elites to factory workers seeking advancement. Kyne's story remains a hallmark of American individualism. Though later generations have aimed critique at its capitalist themes, for decades it influenced workplace culture and fueled the self-made dreams of millions. A testament to the power of will in the face of difficulty, "The Go-Getter" retains its iconic status as a wellspring of inspiration and a monument to perseverance.
