About the work

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

LibriVox recording of Hidden Treasures, by Harry A. Lewis "Some succeed while others fail. This is a recognized fact; yet history tells us that seven-tenths of our most successful men began life poor." A selection of mini-biographies teaches us how some successful men have overcome odds to make their mark on history. What special characteristics do these men share? What can we learn from them? Included are innovators, entrepreneurs, statesmen and a variety of others who have made their mark. (Summary by Lynne Thompson (quote from Introduction))
