Book excerpt: Excerpt from One Thousand American Men of Mark of Today: A National Perpetual Record of Progressive Men of America Who Have Attained Some Prominence in the Various Social, Commercial and Industrial Affairs, Compiled From Standard Biographical Publications and Original Sources The history of the race is but that of the individual 'writ large, ' and 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. Universal history, the history of what man has accomplished in this world, is at the bottom the history of the great men who have worked here; and there can be no true criticism of a great American which is not founded upon the knowledge of his work in daily life. This work is thoroughly National, covering every part of the United States, and puts in enduring form something of the history of great American merchants, manufacturers, builders and financiers and other great men who have played an important part in the country's history. 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.
