Excerpt from The United States Biographical Dictionary and Portrait Gallery of Eminent and Self-Made Men: Wisconsin Volume The belief that the work is needed is founded on the fact that the world worships success, and is glad to learn. How it has been brought about. The truth of this is shown in the fact that if a man be poor, though he have the learning of a Blackstone, ' the genius of a Watt, or the patient persever ance of a Goodyear, yet, until he has achieved success, mankind has no interest in his history. His aspirations, his anxieties and his heart struggles, may have an interest for beings of higher intelligence, but for the mass of mankind these have no charms. But if by some cunning device, by' some daring enterprise, or after long struggles and perseverance, he acquire a fortune, then the reluctant world is lavish in its admiration, his history is full of interest, and every one is anxious to know how he achieved success. To gratify this universal longing, it is proposed to give the history of the lives of six hundred successful men of Wisconsin. The Publishers found the second business principle on the fact that they are determined to spare neither labor nor expense in giving to the world the most authentic information how these men have won fortune, how the world has been benefited by their labors, and what has been the turning-point of their success. These examples are of great interest, may spread good seed, encourage the weary, give new life to the desponding, and energy to the aspiring. In the hearts of the young there are ever hopes and yearnings; and although seldom expressed, and often not even acknowledged to them selves, they want only the inspiration of example to point the way, to accomplish the full fruition of their hopes.
