Excerpt from The United States Biographical Dictionary and Portrait Gallery of Eminent and Self-Made Men: Minnesota Volume N publishing the Minnesota volume of the united states biographical dictionary, we confidently believe that it will be recognized and accepted as the best work of the kind which the press has produced. Our aim has been to furnish facts and reliable data, concerning the leading and prominent men throughout the state; and, in making our selection for this purpose, we have been governed by an earnest desire to present a galaxy of really representa tive men. That it contains the names of all whom it should, or that it is entirely errorless, we do not claim; for to produce such a work, is probably impossible. But that it is as nearly perfect and complete as indefatigable labor, and lavish expenditure of time and money can make it, we feel assured. Minnesota is comparatively a young state, yet is she unsurpassed in rapidity of development and growth, toward a prominence which commands the atten tion and admiration of all her sister states.
