Excerpt from Ter-Centenary Anniversary of the Minor-Miner Family in America, 1630-1930In this day of increased knowledge and scientific achievement, when men run to and fro and remarkable discoveries follow in truly wonderful though logical succession, there are writers on biographical subjects who, with a keen eye to a critical and interpretive analysis. Could seize upon many combinations of prominent members- of a family, and tracing both in ascent and descent, 'with vivid imagination and clever descriptive ability, link together the very qualities of greatness common in the stock. I perceive this could be done in the Minor family, and among the many distinguished personalities, nationally known and open for such a comparative study might be the following three: Adoniram Judson, General U. S. Grant and John D. Rockefeller, each preeminent in his line. But such is not our purpose and we leave these topics for the display of genius to those so inclined and better fitted for the task.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
