It is not necessary that the subject of a biography should be a famous man in order that his story may be interesting and helpful. Doctor Johnson said that there is not a man in the street whose biography ought not to be made interesting, provided he could narrate something of his experiences of life, his trials, his difficulties, his successes and his failures.Of the fifteen men whose life stories are sketched in Men Who Conquered, some became famous, while some lived and died in obscurity. But
...all of them achieved splendid things, in the face of difficulties and discouragements almost without number. So it is well that others who long to surmount obstacles shall look to them for inspiration and courage. ? J. T. F. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
