"The subjects of these brief biographies have been selected from the world's busy workers-tillers of the soil, mechanics, manufacturers, tradesmen, journalists, members of the learned professions, civil engineers, and so forth, representative men and women of the county, useful and honored in their day and generation. In these pages are amply illustrated the 'private virtues of economy, prudence, and industry,' esteemed by Washington not less admirable in civil life than 'the more splendid qualities of valor, perseverance, and enterprise in public life.' Here, too, are eminent examples of patriotism, of enthusiasm for education and for social improvement, and zeal for reform." Portraits of eminent citizens highlight the text and a fullname index provides easy access to each biography.
