About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of American Men of Mind by Burton E. Stevenson. Read in English by William Tomcho “American Men of Mind” is a collection of short biographies of men of note in various disciplines. It is an absorbing collection of short biographies of men who made a difference in American history; most beginning life in very humble circumstances, both in the United States and in foreign countries. Although “men” is mentioned in the title, Mr. Stevenson also relates biographies of several women. This is a most interesting read. (William Tomcho)
