Excerpt from Commemorative Biographical Record of the Counties of Harrison and Carroll, Ohio: Containing Biographical Sketches of Prominent and Representative Citizens, and of Many of the Early Settled FamiliesHE importance of placing in book form biographical history of representative citizens both for its immediate worth and for its value to coming generations - is admitted by all thinking people, and within the past decade there has been a growing interest in this commendable means of perpetuating biography and family genealogy.That the public is entitled to the privileges afforded by a work of this nature needs no assertion at our hands, for one of our greatest Americans has said that the history of any country resolves itself into the biographies of its stout, earnest and representative citizens. This medium, then, serves more than a single purpose: while it perpetuates biography and family genealogy, it records history, much of which would be preserved in no other way.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
