Carnegie opened for NapoleonHill would lead the latter to more than two decades of study and face- to-face discussions with an almost unbelievable array of business,
professional, and public leaders and philanthropists,
including fourPresidents of the United States. All of them are fascinating individuals in their own right, but some maybe somewhat obscure to readers today. Therefore, in this and
in other endnotes that follow, additional biographical details are provided about many of these individuals,
either to underscore the magnitude and uniqueness of their achievements, to shed further light (if only indirectly) on
a success principle or point, or to breathe some life into these historic figures who have long since passed from the scene. Providing these details will also, perhaps, help recapture some of that sense of excitement and enthusiasm that Napoleon Hill clearly experienced in probing these unique achievers lives and minds.
