Synopsis

Excerpt from Young Folks' Treasury, Vol. 9 of 12: Men and Women of Achievement; Self-Help

That is why there are so many Americans in the list of names following. It is not because we think that in our cen tury, more or less, of national life we in America have turned out twice as many great men as twenty centuries have done all over the rest of the world. Nor is it because we think that America, in a fairly short space of time, has succeeded in doing two-thirds of the great work of progress accomplished by man kind. No, the present list of names is relative: it is largely American because it is a book for American homes, for the culture and education of American men and women, and boys and girls.
