An Odd Looking Man With an Odd Sounding Name Who Changed the World With a Little Green Book

Wallace Delois Wattles was a man born on a small farm in Illinois in the mid 1800’s during the war between the states. His father was a gardener and his mother was a housewife. Times were difficult and bleak, and his family didn’t have much wealth.

Wallace received very little formal education. He began his young working life as a farm laborer in the Nunda Township of McHenry Count. Certain that he could do more, he traveled to Chicago.

In Chicago, Wallace struggled as an author. He experienced failure after failure. For years his life was cursed by poverty and the fear of poverty.

But he was always working to attain the abundant for himself and for his family. It was then that he began to study an emerging New Thought and soon discovered the truth about the laws that govern the process of acquiring riches…

The book that he penned was called The Science of Getting Rich. These wise words was by far the most concise and fastest way to master the Laws that govern the process of acquiring riches.

Wallace’s own life proved that he had indeed perfected the formula of getting rich. His daughter, Florence A. Wattles, wrote this about her father in a letter to an acquaintance:

“He wrote almost constantly. It was then that he formed his mental picture. He saw himself as a successful writer, a personality of power, an advancing man, and he began to work toward the realization of this vision. He lived every page… his life was truly the powerful life”.

A practical author, Wattles encouraged his readers to test his theories on themselves rather than take his word as authority. And the success of his formula proved itself over and over as…
