Meet a genuine American folk hero cut from the homespun cloth of America's heartland: Sam Walton, who parlayed a single dime store in a hardscrabble cotton town into Wal-Mart, the largest retailer in the world. The undisputed merchant king of the late twentieth century, Sam never lost the common touch. Here, finally, inimitable words. Genuinely modest, but always sure of his ambitions and achievements. Sam shares his thinking in a candid, straight-from-the-shoulder style. In a story rich with anecdotes and the "rules of the road" of both Main Street and Wall Street, Sam Walton chronicles the inspiration, heart, and optimism that propelled him to lasso the American Dream.

      The founder of one of the largest and most successful discount chains in the world never lost his enthusiasm or love for what he was doing, and the narrator shares the same excitement and engagement as the author. There are many vignettes contributed by various Wal-Mart associates peppered into this first-person memoir, but reader Philip Franklin doesn't do enough to differentiate quotes from the narrative. This causes some confusion. However Franklin's folksy, down-home accent can really make listeners believe they're listening to the Arkansas magnate tell stories of his ups and downs, while blowing his own horn all the way.
