Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Men of Mark in America, Vol. 1: Ideals of American Life Told in Biographies of Eminent Living Americans
Good biography is entertaining literature. The personal element in it insures for it interest and in?uence. Standard collections of brief biographies are indispensable as books of reference and are most stimulating reading for young people in the public library and in the home.
The opening of new fields of activity with the broadening of our national life has increased the number of men whose names are brought prominently before the American public. New collections of biography are needed at comparatively brief intervals.
