Part Four: The Cereal King
Manage episode 281697639 series 2851275
Throughout Dr. Kellogg's rise to fame and the success of his sanitarium, one man stood in the shadows doing much of the work but getting none of the credit- his younger brother Will. When Will took one of the doctor's discarded projects and turned it into a multi-million dollar empire, their bitter sibling rivalry turned deadly. The brothers spent decades battling over the family name and the throne to the cereal kingdom. In the end, it cost them both much more than money.
