Critical Acclaim for ADENAUER "A gripping narrative . . . brings to life an intriguing historical figure . . . an enthralling perspective on the processes that shaped the postwar world." --Daily Telegraph (London) "Charts the ironies of Adenauer's complicated life. This is the story of a marathon man, but it is narrated at the pace of a sprinter and with the elegance of a hurdler."--The Times (London) "Lucid and engaging. This is a well-researched and elegantly written volume which deserves a wider readership than the purely political."--The Herald (Glasgow) "A highly readable, thoroughly reliable, intelligently critical life-and-times. . . . This portrait does justice to a man who is often invoked as a prophet of a United States of Europe, but who was in truth the greatest of German patriots."--Literary Review (London) "Well-researched and admirably written . . . reveals Adenauer the man--with all his authority and strength, his persistence and endurance, and his streak of ruthlessness and political cunning."--The Independent (London) THE LAST GREAT FRENCHMAN "Knowledgeable, lucid . . . the best English biography of de Gaulle."--The New York Times Book Review "Charles Williams has matched a great subject by something near to a great book."--Daily Telegraph (London)

"The history of any country resolves itself into the biographies of its stout, earnest and representative citizens." The editors of the J. H. Beers Publishing Company believed this dictum, and they produced this extensive collection of biographical sketches as a result. Each of the three Wisconsin counties is covered in turn, and the sketches are "of prominent and representative citizens, and of many of the early settled families." An index of over 1,250 names guides the reader through the collection. A sampling of the most prevalent names: Anderson, Bailey, Becker, Black, Bowen, Briggs, Buck, Callahan, Cleeremans, Davis, Hansen, Johnson, Johnston, Jones, Kimball, Knapstein, McMurdo, Martin, Miller, Schmit, Schneider, Smith, Webster, Williams and Wright. Most of the nearly 1,000 subjects were still alive at the time of the original publication, so the majority of the biographies focus on the mid to late 1800s. Many of the subjects are first or second generation immigrants, and usually the sketches include the country of origin, the names of parents and siblings, and the date and place of immigration. The subject's spouse and children are always recorded, and whenever possible a little biographical information about them is included as well. The heart of each sketch, however, is the recounting of the subject's path to prominence and distinction. Portraits of many of the men and women are featured.
