Biographical History
Charles Van Wyck Brooks served aboard a United Fruit Company steamship for two weeks in the summer before he entered Harvard.
NYC; Boston, MA.
The United Fruit Company was formed in 1899 when the Boston Fruit Company merged with several other companies. It engaged in the production, transportation, and marketing of bananas, sugar, cocoa, abaca, and other tropical agricultural products. The United Fruit Company ultimately owned or leased property in Honduras, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Panama, Colombia, Cuba, Jamaica, and numerous other Central American, South American, and West Indian countries. By 1930, the company had absorbed more than twenty rival firms and was the largest employer in Central America.
