Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Noted Pennsylvanians
Two distinguished persons have been intentionally omitted from our list. The lives of Penn and Franklin have been already so well and often described that no school - child has excuse for ignorance concerning them. James G. Blaine is also excluded, because, although a Pennsylvanian by birth, he in a special sense represented Maine throughout his career. Exception may be taken to the inclusion of Audubon, but it was in our State that his life-work began. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
