He made his way to San Francisco and by 1853 had started his company. Soon he was a leading businessman in a growing commercial city that was beginning to influence the rest of the nation. Family-centered and deeply rooted in his Jewish faith, Strauss was the hub of a wheel whose spokes reached into nearly every aspect of American culture: business, philanthropy, politics, immigration, transportation, education, and fashion.<\/p>\n<p>But despite creating an American icon, Levi Strauss is a mystery. Little is known about the man, and the widely circulated \u201cfacts\u201d about his life are steeped in mythology. In this first full-length biography, Lynn Downey sets the record straight about this brilliant businessman.
