The story follows young World War I veteran Bill Peck as he embarks on a make-or-break business trip across the country. Given nine days to secure a lucrative deal by his ailing employer, Peck encounters setback after setback. Undeterred, he meets every new challenge with wit, grit and zeal, evolving from amateur dreamer to consummate go-getter before readers' eyes.
Kyne's underdog tale struck an immediate chord in the postwar economic boom. By 1923 the book was already in its sixth printing, eventual sales topping half a million copies worldwide. Its popularity crossed class divides, finding audiences from corporate elites to factory workers seeking advancement.
Kyne's story remains a hallmark of American individualism. Though later generations have aimed critique at its capitalist themes, for decades it influenced workplace culture and fueled the self-made dreams of millions. A testament to the power of will in the face of difficulty, "The Go-Getter" retains its iconic status as a wellspring of inspiration and a monument to perseverance.
