One Thousand Men
The pride taken by a man in his own achievements is
a natural one. When overdone it is conceit, when well
done it is a strong factor in the attainment of success and
when underdone it is sometimes a contributing cause to a
complete lack of ambition or confidence. The kind of pride
a man takes or enjoys in his own success is felt also, per
haps at times in a slightly modified manner, in the success
of his offspring, his brother or of any member of his im
mediate family.
Carried still further the pride arising from the knowl
edge that one's locality, one's town, one's city, one's county,
or one's state, has done well its part in producing men of
attainments and all around solidity is a worthy one and
must be shared by all normally minded individuals every
where It has long been said and said truthfully that the men
who came from Vermont have ever shown an exceeding
desire to let the fact be well heralded and have pointed al
ways with pride to the "men from home" who either there
or elsewhere have made names for themselves of state wide
or national importance.
Nearly every state in the land has, scattered within its
borders, state societies whose membership is composed
solely of men or women, or both, who were born in some
other particular commonwealth. Few of these are gener
ally more alive than Vermont societies and the latter's mem
bers are and always have been soundly loyal to each other
as well as to the land of their nativity.
It has long been said also that few states have produced
as many prominent men in proportion to their population as
has Vermont.

4 ONE THOUSAND MEN
Men of distinction are met everywhere every day whose
early home and training are found to have been in the
little Commonwealth of Vermont, away up next to Canada
in the far northeastern part of the country, ranking forty-
third in area with its sister states and with now, as it has
always had, a very small number of men and women in its
confines, any one of fifteen cities in the United States today
exceeding, in fact, the total population of Vermont.
But who all these men have been or are, just what they
have done, what towns in Vermont they went from, their
proportion to the other less well known natives of their
home state and their state's percentage as compared with
other states in its gifts to the world, have never to the
author's knowledge been chronicled to any extent.
The book first published by the Vermont Bureau of
Publicity in 1913 under the name of "Vermont, the Land of
the Green Mountains" and written by Walter Hill Crockett,
in dealing with each town gives in many instances a few
of the men of that town who were or are well known else
where. The author of the work which follows had long had
such an idea in mind on a larger scale and taking the former
book as a nucleus there has been prepared the material
which appears in these pages.
To accumulate the facts I have consulted page by page,
Appleton's Encyclopedia of American Biography, the
National Encyclopedia of American Biography, Nelson's
Encyclopedia, the Encyclopedia Americana, the 1906 and
1913 editions of Who's Who in America, the 1909 edition
of Who's Who in New England, Oilman's Bibliography of
Vermont and some half dozen books dealing largely with
prominent Vermonters who have remained in the State. In
addition to the above mentioned works some thirty-five
Vermont town histories, the File of the Vermonter, Hemen-

ONE THOUSAND MEN 5
way's Gazetteer, Child's Gazetteer and numerous other
sources have given up, now here, now there, other names
to swell the fold.
Wom:en have not been included in this work for while
Vermont has indeed produced a few women who have made
names of state-wide and in a few rare cases of national
importance, most lines of work which lend strong distinc
tion having in the past been more or less closed to women,
there have appeared here at least, few names to have been
employed in a work such as this.
Neither have there been included by any means all the
names of native Vermonters met with in encyclopedias and
other high authorities usually discriminating, but the author
eliminated instead as was thought best, being determined
that the completed result should show only, either men
all men have heard of, or men one could easily find to have
stood high in their chosen vocations and communities.
One thousand men have been found of whom about
eighty-two percent left Vermont to perform their life work.
It is not claimed by any manner of means that the name
of every man born in Vermont who has attained high
prominence can be found in these pages.
The author early found from experience that they were
indeed an elusive lot, many of both the earlier and later
ones of whom every man knows by reputation having been
"caught" when the list was supposed to have been completed.
The writer well knows there are scores of Vermonters
of solidity and high prominence not only in their adopted
cities but states as well who combine with their ability a
certain shrinking from publicity as far as possible, which
tendency prevents their family history or birthplace appear
ing in the public print except on rare occasions and it is
such men as these, generally men who have succeeded in

6 ONE THOUSAND MEN
business rather than in the professions whose names will be
found lacking in this work.
But considering the long and high list of authorities
consulted together with the extreme care taken, one can
be reasonably certain that a very large share of all of Ver
mont's most prominent sons is set forth in this treatise. The
most perplexing part of the whole problem was to determine
just who of the thousands of our able sons fell short of
measuring up to the full standard of "the most prominent
Vermonters." Not being paid in cold, hard money by any aspirant for
a niche in the Hall of Fame, a copy of the work and a few
extra steel engravings thrown in, the dividing line has all
along been hard to determine and it can be assured that no
two minds would select exactly the same thousand men but
after long consultation with men whose opinions are sound
and solid the writer has been led to believe that the dividing
line has been as sensibly drawn as most men would desire.
In selecting the Vermont men who have stood high in their
own State there have been considered with some few excep
tions only men who have held prominent State positions
such as Governors, Lieutenant-Governors, United States
Congressmen, United States Senators, Secretaries of State,
State Treasurers, Speakers of the House of Representa
tives, or men who have managed the few large businesses
or corporations which have been carried on in Vermont and
the list closes as of Jan. 1, 1914.
The one thousand men first began to see the light of
day in 1768 and one birth in 1879 completes the list bridging
a span of one hundred and twelve years. The dates of
birth are known of nine hundred and thirty-nine, of whom
three hundred and forty-nine were born in the first half and
five hundred and ninety in the last half of the period. Eighty-
five were bom prior to 1800 and the year of all years which

ONE THOUSAND MEN 7
gave birth to the greatest number was 1843 with twenty-six.
The first man ever born in Vermont who reached a position
of sufficient importance to admit his name to any encyclo
pedia of biography was Jonathan Hatch Hubbard, born in
Windsor in 1768 who became a United States congressman
from Vermont and a Judge of her Supreme Court and it is
a peculiar fact that the third man born in this State, who
attained prominence was a full blooded negro named Prince
Saunders, born in Thetford inT775, a man who became an
author, a lawyer and attorney-general of Hayti.
Vermont, always extremely small in colored population,
has produced no other man of ability from that race. Ver
mont stands to-day forty-third in area and forty-third in
population among her sister states. Her population in 1910
was 355,956 and for half a century it has remained com
paratively stationary. When she was admitted to the Union
she was the fourteenth state and the twelfth in population.
During the last one hundred and twenty years she has ever
been one of the least populated states and during all that
time she has been sending her sons by tens and scores and
hundreds out into the world to take high places in other
communities and win for themselves names of honor else
where. It has been thought best to publish here a short
synopsis of some of the more prominent facts to be gleaned
from the pages which follow, while from the entire work
the idea is easily established and the fact sustained that
the greatest men in the land are very often reared in rural
communities and that an early environment possessing
limited advantages has never prevented ability from as
serting itself and finding its true place in the work of the
world. Vermont has then produced twenty-five chief jus
tices for sixteen states and territories, nine for herself, two
for Illinois and one each for North Dakota, Washington,
Michigan, New Hampshire, Iowa, Minnesota, Alabama, In-

8 ONE THOUSAND MEN
diana, the District of Columbia, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Ne
vada, Massachusetts and California.
Not counting the above she has furnished fifty asso
ciate justices of the supreme court for seventeen states and
territories, twenty-four for herself, four for New York,
three each for New Hampshire and Massachusetts, two each
for California, the District of Columbia and Ohio, and one
each for Idaho, New Mexico, Dakota, Illinois, Minnesota,
Arizona, Maryland, Maine, North Dakota and the Philip
pines. She has given to the nation twenty-four United States
senators from fourteen states, ten from Verrriont, two from
Wisconsin and one each from Nebraska, Louisiana, Maine,
Utah, Michigan, Minnesota, Arkansas, Illinois, Colorado,
North Dakota, New Hampshire and Indiana.
In her borders have been born one hundred and thirty-
one United States congressmen for twenty-eight states of
whom thirty-two went from Vermont, twenty-three from
New York, twelve from Michigan, eight from Ohio, seven
each from Wisconsin, Massachusetts and New Hampshire,
five each from Minnesota and Pennsylvania, four from Iowa,
two each fromi Indiana, Kansas and Illinois, and one each
from Idaho, Missouri, Arizona, Dakota, Rhode Island, Vir
ginia, New Jersey, Tennessee, North Dakota, South Dakota,
Louisiana, Washington, Maryland, California and Connecti
cut. She has given forty-six governors to sixteen states and
territories, twenty-seven to herself, three to New Hampshire,
two each to Indiana and Iowa and one each to Nevada,
Alaska, Ohio, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Michigan, Utah,
New York, Colorado, Dakota, South Dakota and Louisiana.
She has given to the church six bishops and one archbishop.
In her confines have been born sixty-three editors of news
papers or magazines, who outside of Vermont have pre
sided over periodicals all of which possessed more than

ONE THOUSAND MEN 9
their state-wide prominence. Two hundred and ninety-two
of her sons have been authors of from one to sixty sub
stantial volumes each, all of which have taken their place
with the good literature of the world. She has furnished
the nation with thirty-three brigadier-generals and eleven
major-generals in the army and to the navy she has given
one captain, one commodore and nine rear-admirals and
one admiral. Forty-nine presidents of colleges and universi
ties have been born in Vermont as well as twelve artists,
seven musical composers, three architects and four sculptors,
all of unusual ability.
Eight district judges for seven states and territories
were born here, two for Vermont and one each for Iowa,
Hawaii, Missouri, Michigan, Minnesota, and Florida. One
hundred and one capitalists using the word in its broadest
definition were born within these boundaries, nearly half
of whom became millionaires and here were born also forty
railroad presidents.
Vermont has given to the nation three fathers of a
President of the United States, two unsuccessful candi
dates for President, one President, one Vice-President, two
chaplains of the United States Senate, one chaplain oi the
House of Congress, three secretaries of war, two of the in
terior, and one of the treasury, one postmaster-general, one
attorney-general, an assistant secretary of war, and one also
of the navy, the interior and the treasury, two registrars
of the treasury, one chief examiner of the bureau of pen
sions, one commissioner-general of immigration, a chairman
of the Interstate Commerce Commission, three commission
ers of patents and one secretary to the President.
Here have been born United States ministers and am
bassadors to Spain, England, Switzerland, Venezuela, Aus
tria, Germany, Siam, Argentina, Panama, Colombia, Chili,
Turkey, Uraguay and Paraguay, Italy, France and Russia.

10 ONE THOUSAND MEN
Vermont has furnished one United States commissioner to
Samoa, one chief justice of Samoa, a governor-general of
the Philippines, an insular governor of the Philippines, two
mayors of New York City, a president of the New York
Produce Exchange, of the New York Stock Exchange and
of the New York Clearing House, an attorney-general of
Hayti, a United States consul-general at London and the
director-general of the Pan-American Union.
Here too were born the founder of the Mormon church,
the translator for the founder of the discovered book, a
Mormon bishop and two presidents of the Mormon church,
a president of the Postal Telegraph Company, the founder
and father of civil service reform in this country, a presi
dent of the New York Life Insurance Company, two of the
National Life, and one of the Home Life, a legal adviser to
the Emperor of Japan, a president-general of the Sons of
the American Revolution, the founder of the Adams Ex
press Company, the originator of the "patent insides" news
paper, the builder of the "Monitor," the first man to make
Bessemer steel in America, a preacher of Lincoln's funeral
sermon, the inventor of the time-lock, the saw for sawing
marble, the saw for sawing granite, the cook stove, electric
motor, gimlet pointed screw, refrigerator car and the car
penter's square, the builder of the first elevated railroad in
New York and the founder of the New York World.
The list might be long continued but enough appears
above to give some idea of the standing and records of the
sons of Vermont while a careful reading of the pages which
follow cannot but convince that the State in proportion to
its population ranks, in its gifts of ability, the first in the
land. It has now been some years since an encyclopedia pure
ly of American biography has been struck from the press
and in its stead to some considerable degree, have appeared

ONE THOUSAND MEN 11
from time to time succeeding editions of a work called
"Who's Who in America." The publishers of this work
aim to and do give as well as it can be done, the majority
of the names and records of all the living men and women
in this country who have in their professions or chosen
vocations attained to positions in advance of their fellows.
Employing, then, the 1913 edition we discover that all
the states of the United States have produced sixteen
thousand four hundred and sixteen of the living men and
women mentioned in the work.
Using these figures as a basis we find that Vermont
with an output of three hundred and fifty-nine stands four
teenth in total relative production of children of ability and
yet in 1860, in population her place was the twenty-eighth
in the then thirty-three states, and today she ranks forty-
second in population and forty-third in area.
Always one of the very smallest of the commonwealths
in both population and area, the percentage to her present
population of her living sons and daughters mentioned to
day in "Who's Who in America" is exceeded by no state or
territory in the whole land.
It may, however, be truthfully said that the men found
in "Who's Who in America" were not all born in the year
1910, in any other one year, one decade or indeed in the
same half century.
Granting this it can be safely assum,ed that out of
thousands who have attained prominence, while there may
be many exceptions, an average age of forty-three years
would certainly see the vast majority of these people at a
point in their life work where their names would have be
come widely known.
Counting back then forty-three years from 1913 to
1870, the year in which they could have been born and now
have been included in this work, we find that Vermont

12 ONE THOUSAND MEN
has produced one man or woman of high prominence to
every nine hundred and twenty of her population in the
latter year, being exceeded in the United States on that
basis, only by the District of Columbia with one to each
eight hundred and seventy-two and by the State of Massa
chusetts with one to seven hundred and ninety-nine.
But cannot we explain the lead enjoyed over all others
by the District of Columbia and the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts ? The District of Columbia has for a century
been inhabited by a large class of men standing high in the
nation and representative in ability, men whose sons, by
heredity, by environment and by good fortune have been
assisted together with their ability, early and easily to
positions of prominence and solidity. And while there
could be found few men who would not thrill with satisfac
tion in the record of Massachusetts, the mother of New
England whose good blood for three centuries has filled the
entire Nation, West, East, North and South, one fact must
be borne in mind.
While she does not lead all the states in proportion
to her present population as does Vermont, in the produc
tion of eminent sons, she does lead in proportion to her
population in 1870 and the following may explain the cause.
For decade after decade Massachusetts had then been
and has been since, a center of literature, of art, of educa
tion, of refinement, of prosperity and of advance in every
good motive. Her schools long the leaders, have never
been second to any in this country and she has ever well
given every advantage that could be discovered to her young
and to her adult citizens.
In all this she has done nobly a duty and the number
of splendid men who have been born and reared within her
confines attests well the fact. But what of her neighbor,
the State of Vermont? Far, far smaller in population, with

ONE THOUSAND MEN 13
absolutely no large centers of culture and advantage, as
have been scattered thickly through Massachusetts, sorely
lacking in wealth, her population largely rural and well
separated, with little incentive to a life beyond the narrow
valleys in which they were hemmed, the little red or white
or brown schoolhouse being until recent times the only
source of education for the great majority — with all these
disadvantages the little State of Vermont has sent forth
a tremendous array of able men.
We find that since 1790, Vermont has produced over
nine hundred men of the very highest prominence. The
mean of her population over that period has been about
two hundred and twenty thousand and the mean of the
population of the entire country over the same century and
a quarter has been forty-seven millions. Had, then, all the
United States reared ability in the same proportion as has
Vermont about twenty-three thousand men and women born
in this country since 1790, should appear in the American
encyclopedia of biography today and "Who's Who in
America" mentions but some sixteen thousand five hundred
and in Appleton's Encyclopedia of Biography published
some few years since, we find less than eleven thousand
native born Americans.
The early days of this Commonwealth were rife with
the strife for liberty. Denied an independent existence our
fathers shouldered their muskets, met in convention and
then and there and all along by every word and deed in
sisted that they must be heard, they must be recognized,
they must be independent.
No other state in the Union was born in such bitter
ness or nourished with such contention, and through it all
our ancestors acted like men.
It can absolutely be proven that the old Commonwealth
of Vermont, always one of the smallest in population ranks

14 ONE THOUSAND MEN
according to her strength first and foremost in her gifts to
the world. At no time down through the late decades can but one
state lead her in proportion to her population in illustrious
sons and Massachusetts has all along held closely her own,
while over eighty-two percent, of the prominent men born
in Vermont have gone out from her borders to win fame
and fortune in other lands.
Other states have claimed the fruit of their labors and
other states have adopted them but the fact must ever re
main that on these rock ribbed hills and in these narrow
valleys their fathers toiled and lived and here their fathers
lie. Here the sons were born and received their early train
ing and almost without an exception these sons have ever
looked back and pointed back with a pride well justified to
the scenes of their nativity and youth.
To have been born in the State of Vermont is a credit
to any man.
That there must be errors in dates in the list which
follows, the author is absolutely aware. Any compilation
as large and drawn from so many sources is liable in in
stances to mistake and I can only state that my own part
has been done as carefully as possible. The errors of others
I cannot answer for, my own I will assume without further
comment.
