Excerpt from Youth of Famous Americans It has been the object of the writer in preparing these sketches to deal only with the youth of the distinguished people whose biographies have been under search. With the great work of their lives this book has nothing to do. The author has sought only to put before the mind of the reader a comprehensive and entertaining picture of that peculiarly interesting period which precedes the great work of every successful career. It is the period when education is received, when original genius begins to manifest itself, and when character is being developed and crystallized in the preliminary struggles of life. Every available nook that might have information in it has been sought out, and in many cases a number of biographies have been consulted and compared. For one thing the author believes he deserves credit, in that he has absolutely resisted all temptations to point the moral, or preach the sermon, which these youthful struggles have often given him desire to do. The reader has before him the picture and the story, and must read into them his own lesson. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
