If question is--What did George Washington Carver invent using peanuts? Answer is a BUNCH of stuff. In southwest Missouri near Joplin, is the George Washington Carver National Monument (see link, unfortunately the indepth link is bad).
Taking an interest in the plight of poor Southern farmers working with soil depleted by repeated crops of cotton, Carver advocated employing the nitrogen cycle by alternating cotton crops with other planting, such as legumes (peanuts), or other crops (sweet potato) to restore nitrogen and other nutrients to the soil. Thus, the cotton crop was improved and new cash crops added. He developed an agricultural extension system in Alabama — based on that created at Iowa State University — to train farmers in raising these crops and an industrial research laboratory to develop uses for them.
In order to make these new crops profitable, Carver devised numerous uses, several of which were unique, for the new crops, including more than 300 uses for the peanut. These applications included glue, printer's ink, dyes, punches, varnishing cream, marble, rubbing oils, and Worcestershire sauce; however, contrary to popular belief, this list does not include peanut butter.[3] He made similar investigations into uses for plants such as sweet potatoes and pecans.
Haven't found it on the web, but a story I remember reading about him is that he was to speak at a convention and a speaker droned on and on. When it was his turn he was told to take all the time he wanted, but everyone was leaving in 5 minutes. He got up, showed a number of products, announced they were all made with peanuts and started walking off the stage. The audience was astounded and asked him to continue, then wound up staying for about 2 hours listening to him. He had an aptitude for music, so very likely he was an excellent speaker.
