The Plant Doctor

George walked 8 miles

(13 kilometers) to get to the

town of Neosho. That was

where the closest black school

was located. By the time he

got there, it was night. George

found a barn and fell asleep.

Meeting Mariah

The next day, he met a

midwife named Mariah Walker.

She and her husband owned

the barn where young George

had slept. She told him that he

could stay in their house. In

return, George helped her with

her work.

Name Change

When George lived with the Carvers, he

was known as “Carver’s George.” That was

because the Carvers owned him. When

George left the farm, he changed his name

to show that no one owned him. His new

name was George Carver. George picked his

middle name, Washington, years later.
