Excerpt from Progressive Men of Nebraska: A Book of Portraits
This volume is the initial one of a series, new and unique in design, and is the first effort made to collect in a volume a considerable number of portraits of the citizens who have been foremost in furthering the interests of their county or community. Heretofore all attempts in the direction of securing and preserving the portraits of the worthy ones identified with any section of country has been carried on in such manner and the cost made so great to those who should have been interested, that only a few received representation, and as a portrait record such a volume generally has been of small value. In this work the greatest effort of the publishers has been to make it as complete as possible. Perfection is not claimed for this work, nor can a compilation of this class be made complete, for no matter how painstaking the publishers and their representatives in the field may be, there are influences beyond their power to control that preclude the carrying out of their plans in the fullest. It is with regret that many portraits of worthy and enterprising citizens have been omitted from this volume. Yet this book is representative of the sterling element of the count. But few of the pioneers who during life were active in business and public affairs and who are now numbered with the dead, have been neglected.
