Excerpt from Famous Living Americans: With Portraits First, to supply the general reader in compact form the biographies of a considerable number of the most prominent present-day Americans. This volume gives the main facts about each character down to the present in an appreciative and interpretive sketch such as seldom appears during the life-time of an individual. Although fragmentary material on most of our great leaders may be secured from widely scattered publications, articles having the particular aim and scope of these biographies are rarely if ever found in current literature.1 The present work meets a need of the reader by providing within a single volume the life stories of forty-three representative living Americans.
