Excerpt from Booker T. Washington: The Master Mind of a Child of Slavery; An Appealing Life Story Rivaling in Its Picturesque Simplicity and Power Those Recounted About the Lives of Washington and Lincoln; A Biographical Tale Destined to Live in History and Furnish an Inspiration for Prese
The truth of that homely axiom, "Great Oaks From Little Acorns Grow, " finds no better exemplification than in the life of Booker T. Washington. So much has been written about this extraordinary negro educator, who rose from obscurity, that it is deemed necessary in offering the public this work to say that it is not presented as a biography, but rather as a story pointing a moral and carrying with it a lesson for all mankind to study and heed.
Dr. Washington has contributed much to the literature of the age, telling the story of his struggles and ambitions in a characteristic, simple, straightforward and effective manner, and the world is better for his works. But his very simplicity and the utter unselfishness which his humble life and training produced made it impossible for him to "stand without" and view himself with justice.
The purpose here is to present a faithful picture of Booker T. Washington, as viewed through the eyes of those "outside" who watched his rise and studied his work and progress, and to provide an unprejudiced and unbiased work of some economic as well as historic value.
