by Donald E. Howard

2005 · McFarland

According to the end-of-millennium Arts and Entertainment Television Network survey, the single most influential person of the last thousand years was Johann Gutenberg, the inventor of the printing press. The revolutionary advent of moveable metal type made possible the diffusion of books to people around the world, profoundly influencing the lives of many famous historical figures thereafter. This book attempts to demonstrate the role that reading has played throughout the course of history. It documents the lives of nine individuals of outstanding achievement whose efforts were molded by the books they read. The subjects are presented in chronological order according to birth. Respective chapters contain brief biographies of the subjects and discuss the ways in which each used books as a principal aid in the development of his or her exceptional talents. Subjects include Benjamin Franklin, who was in 1724 an active connoisseur in the rapidly growing printing trade, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, Susan B. Anthony, Booker T. Washington, Pearl S. Buck, Louis L'Amour, and Nelson Mandela. The book maintains that while these historical figures represent a wide range of talents and influences, to each is attributed invaluable contributions to society. Each was a dedicated reader, inspired to greatness by the power of the written word.

Thus Baltimore is enabled to compete with the great cities of the East for a share of this immense trade. The extension of the road from Pittsburg to Centreton, a mere question of time, will give another direct route from Chicago to Baltimore. The scenery along the line of the Baltimore and Ohio Eailway is picturesque and beautiful, but portions of the road merit special notice. "Harper's Ferry," the point at which the peaceful waters of the Shenandoah become lost in the more boisterous Potomac, has been described by Jefferson as "one of the most stupendous scenes in nature, and well worth a voyage across the Atlantic to witness." Jefferson's Kock, named after that illustrious statesman, a great overhanging cliff which looks frowningly down as though it would topple headlong upon the unwary traveler, offers an exhaustive view of the wonderful passage of these two rivers through the very heart of the mountains. The road from this point to the Ohio Kiver gives to the sight-seer a succession of views emb...
