Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Progressive Americans of the Twentieth Century, Containing Biographical Sketches of Distinguished Americans We do not know the real history of any age or country until we know about its characteristic men. Most of the men described are now active in business and professional careers, but a few sketches have been added of men whose achievements are still fresh in memory. This most admirable collection of contemporary biography of America´s foremost leaders of life and thought will be an invaluable acquisition to the world´s libraries and historical archives. The sketches of the leaders of life and thought now at the helm of America´s Ecclesiastical, Civil, Military, industrial and Commercial lines of human activity have been selected with the greatest of care from current historical works and publications and from various other sources. As Builders and Merchants they have built Cities and illumined the marts of ™ in the field of science and medicine they have obtained great prominence; in the arena of statesmanship they have produced men of thought and men of action; while at the bar and in the administration of Justice they have shown erudition and wisdom. As clergymen, educators and lecturers they have occupied high places; and as musicians, composers, artists, authors and poets they have contributed profusely to social life. This volume is submitted to the public in the confidence that the careers herein described will be found stimulating to patriotism; and a potent factor in cheering and inspiring the efforts of rising generations. "Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime." - Longfellow. "There is properly no history; only biography." - Emerson. "There can be no true criticism of a great American which is not founded upon the knowledge of his work in daily life. Whether it be in the diary of the frontiersman or in the elegant studies of the university." - Edward Everett Hale.
