A Great American Success Story

Bright with Silver describes the rise of the United States ginseng and fox farming industries through the story of the Fromm brothers. The Fromms began their lives at the turn of the century as impoverished farmers and rapidly grew into the world’s largest ginseng and fox farmers, making tremendous discoveries along the way, including the canine distemper vaccine. The book chronicles their business successes through the 1950s.
