AMERICAN PUBLISHERS' ASSOCIATION 1914 ENTERED ACCORDING TO ACT OF CONGRESS IN THE YEAR 1914 BY tZi(am&B litUiam ?l^rmngsltatu IN THE OFFICE OF THE LIBRARIAN OF CONGRESS AT WASHINGTON, D, C. l^prrtngaliatti'H Amprtran %togra))% IS RESPECTFULLY DEDICATED WITH MANY THANKS TO THE OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE ASSISTANCE THEY HAVE RENDERED IN ITS PUBLICATION BY lSi\omaB William l^rrrtttgat;an> PREFACE. ^r^HERE is not extant any one volume or set of volumes ¦*¦ that contains biographies of even one-half of the noted personages who have risen to eminence in the United States. Hence, the purpose of Herringshaw'S LIBRARY OF American Biography is to meet this glaring inade quacy, and to present in Five Compact Volumes the lives and achievements of thirty-five thousand of the most cele brated men and women who have been the founders, de fenders and builders of this Great Republic of the United States of America, including every name of eminence it has produced from its formation to the present time. It is also illustrated with over Three Thousand Vignette Portrait Engravings. The most attractive form of history is Biography, which perpetuates the memory of individuals, and, while aptly illustrating the conduct of life, conveys important lessons. History, it has been well said, does not much re gard fertile soil or material wealth : but the admirable men and women that a country produces — they are fhe glory of the country. In every city, town and village are men and women of character and influence, who have con tributed by their enterprise and thrift, by their activity and sagacity in business, their zeal in educational, in re ligious, and in political matters, to the moral and spiritual advancement as well as to the material prosperity of the community in which they live. Herringshaw'S Library of American Biography includes accurate biographies of all the Presidents and 11 PREFACE Vice-Presidents of the United States ; every member of all the cabinets; every United States Senator and Speaker of the House ; every United States Congressman ; every mem ber of the Supreme Court; ever signer of the Declaration of Independence; the Governors of the States and Terri tories; all the Authors, Poets and Composers; all the eminent Clergymen, Judges, Lawyers; all the Admirals and distinguished naval officers; all the Generals and distinguished army officers; while no name erhinent in Literature, Art, Music, Science or Invention has been omitted. As the failure to consider the lives of men of affairs as of historical importance is a defective feature of all biographical works heretofore published, a special feature of this work has been to include the lives of the great pio neers, merchants, manufacturers, railroad builders, and other practical men who have developed the mines, forests and farms, built the railroads, steamboat lines and canals, set afloat and managed the shipping, organized the cor porations, and introduced the new processes in science and mechanics, which have so greatly reduced the cost and promoted the comfort of living, while contributing to the power and prestige of the nation itself. They have founded the great museums, erected statues, libraries and reading rooms ; and it is by them that the colleges, schools and philanthropic institutions are built and maintained; and it surely is befitting that their records should be pre served for all time in this national work of representative Americans. That the achievements of such persons should have their public record is peculiarly proper, because a knowl edge of men whose substantial fame rests upon their at- PREFACE 111 tainments, character and success, must exert a wholesome influence upon the rising generation of the American people. To preserve and perpetuate the important historical facts of personal and family history cannot fail to prove invaluable and a source of pride and interest to the nation and to the world. Indeed, there is inherent in us a desire that our descendants should know something of us -r- how we live, and where we spend our lives, for the poet truly says — "To live in hearts we leave behind Is not to die." In the preservation of such a record, all the progres sive men of life and thought should have a national pride. As heroes of the colonial and revolutionary wars, states men, persons noteworthy in the church, at the bar, in litera ture, art, science and the professions, and those who have contributed to the commercial and industrial growth of this Great Republic — each has added luster to its name. In order to seek a competency and fame, these sturdy Americans, inbued with a spirit of self-reliance and in domitable will, have blazed the way through the wilder ness, conquered forests, subdued the soil, and made desert places smile. In the commercial and industrial world their names have illumined the marts of trade ; from the workshops of the inventor have emanated prolific inven tions now used throughout the civilized world; in litera ture can be found authors, poets and journalists whose brows are worthy to be crowned with the laurel wreath of fame; as philanthropists, the gifts of America's successful men have been munificent; and in the arena of statesman ship, in the halls of legislation, and in the administration of justice the United States has produced men of thought IV PREFACE and men of action ; while last, but not least, as soldiers on the field of battle, which tradition regards as the field of glory, dur great men have served as valiant soldiers ; while the American Army and Navy have produced heroes of undying fame in the defense of their land and in the cause of humanity. Is not so complete a record a credit to the nation and to the world? While transmitting to posterity the memory of distin guished persons of the past and present day, it will instil in the minds of our children the important lesson that honor and station are the reward of continued exertion — and that compared to a good education with habits of honest industry and economy, the greatest fortune would be but a poor inheritance. The courteous co-operation and words of praise re ceived from prominent people throughout the United States, confirmed the opinion that the public is sufficiently alive to the value and importance of such a work, and the lasting benefit to be derived from placing their names, side by side with those of our most honored ones, in a work that will be found in the great public libraries and read ing rooms throughout the world, and which is ultimately destined to go down to posterity as an enduring record of the most eminent people of the United States ; bearing in mind that without such a record some of the most illus trious names would be lost in oblivion, and their posterity deprived of the gratification and advantage of reference to so honorable an ancestry. Thomas William Herringshaw. pblialyfra* Note Mistakes will undoubtedly be found IN this volume, but they exist not for want of painstaking efforts to avoid THEM, BUT generally FROM IMPERFECT MANUSCRIPTS OR CONFLICTING STATEMENTS OF standard authorities, what IS WORTH RECORDING AT ALL, IS WORTH RECORDING CAREFULLY AND CORRECTLY; AND WHEN MISTAKES ARE DISCOVERED, A MEMORANDUM OF THE ERRORS SHOULD AT ONCE BE SENT TO THE AMERICAN PUBLISHERS' ASSOCIATION OF CHICAGO, FOR CORRECTIONS IN FUTURE EDITIONS OF THIS WORK. Lives of great men all remind us We can make our ltves sublime, And, departing, leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time. HERRINGSHAW'S LIBRARY OF AMERICAN.
