Excerpt from Pioneers of Progress Biography is the life of history. Without it the chronicles of a nation would be of small value. It teaches both by precept and example. If the example is good the lesson is uplifting. The lives of good men and women are practical object lessons, and the history of such lives is a rich inheritance to the world. It constitutes the chief part of a nations wealth. The nineteenth century was a record-breaking period, in the way of producing great men and women. Men and women who have distinguished themselves by their wise words and noble deeds. It was the author's good fortune to be born in the early part of that century, and to live his manhood life during the last half of it, and to enjoy the personal acquaintance of some of those great souls who have been prominent actors in the drama of progress. In this book the author gives his impressions of those headlights of humanity, in the form of brief biographical sketches and personal reminiscences.
