In these 2100+ biographies
are found the names, portraits (coming soon)
and accounts of a great number of the people
of the state of Kansas. Preserving the records
of families is at least as worth while as
keeping record of live stock. These
biographies also have a great value in
interpreting the broader movements described
in the
general history. The truth is, biography
is a most important portion of any historical
effort. In the great drama of history, all
play a part—more or less important—more or
less significant. Some are the mere settings
of the stage. Some play an insignificant part.
But others—the strong men in a community or
state—those who labor and achieve—these are
the men who really possess and preserve the
genius of a people and perpetuate to ultimate
destiny the real trend of a commonwealth's
progress. The combined stories of the lives of
these men create and constitute, in the main,
true history. They furnish a standard by which
can be computed the results of combined effort
in the up-building of states and nations.
