Abstract
THE author, in his preface, regrets the lack of all those written records on which biographers usually rely for providing interesting personal reminiscences. Despite this, however, he has succeeded in compiling an interesting, straightforward narrative which will be inspiring to youth for the example it sets forth of success achieved by indomitable courage and persistent effort, and of fame won on sheer merit, without aid from influence or wealth.
