Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from One Thousand Men
The pride taken by a man in his own achievements is a natural one. When overdone it is conceit, when well done it is a strong factor in the attainment of success and when underdone it is sometimes a contributing cause to a complete lack of ambition or confidence. The kind of pride a man takes or enjoys in his own success is felt also, per haps at times in a slightly modified manner, in the success of his offspring, his brother or of any member of his im mediate family.
Carried still further the pride arising from the knowl edge that one's locality, one's town, one's city, one's county, or one's state, has done well its part in producing men of attainments and all around solidity is a worthy one and must be shared by all normally minded individuals every where.
