TO SAY THAT the MacMillans have achieved financial success would be understating the fact considerably. The MacMillans, with their Cargill cousins, are today the owners of the largest privately held company in the world: Cargill, Inc. An engrossing saga of pluck and daring, love and loss, triumph and failure, MacMillan is the last great American success story with its roots in the nineteenth century.

"This is not only a surprisingly readable business history, but also the story of an unsurprisingly fascinating family." —St. Paul Pioneer Press
