Excerpt from The Builders of the Nation It is the purpose of this work to give to a busy age an epitome of the nation's life compressed into one volume. The National Cyclopaedia op American Biography, from which this matter is drawn, presents the history of the country in its wide and varied aspects, and to such a length that it necessarily limits its circulation to a privileged few. It is aimed in this work to collect into a single volume, which can be placed in every hand, the main facts, and the great characters of our nation's life. Biography is the basis of all history. It is the "home aspect of history," and through it only do we gain a knowledge of the causes, motives, and ideals that inspire and lead up to the events which mark its epochs. The importance of presenting to the world comprehensive biographical sketches and truthful likenesses of the men who have been foremost in projecting, advancing, and crystallizing the national government, is unquestioned.From Washington to the present administration, the men who have been called by the people to occupy the executive offices of the government, the opposing candidates presented by the minority party, the members of the judicial branch of the government, appointed by the executives, and the advisers called to their cabinets, represent the factors potential in advancing the prosperity, maintaining the honor, and holding in check the radicalism of the people. In the lives of these men the student of history of the country can readily discover the high purposes of its founders, the patriotic impulses of its defenders, and the virtue of its people. The lives of these builders show the processes of building, and discloseto view the edifice as it stands in all the beauty of its perfection; the work of but four generations, and the workmen our ownfathers. As literature, art, education, the pulpit, and the press have helped along the progress of the country, keeping pace with its civic life, the men prominent in these departments of activity are rightly classed as builders of the nation. It is one of the chief aims of this work to group these biographies with reference to events and movements, so that the student is presented with the means for systematic study as well as for biographical reference. The value of biography as a study for the young has never been fully appreciated. The tendency in the past has been to direct our youth to the lives of Plutarch, rather than to the achievements of men of our own time. The imparting of moral force, which is the peculiar advantage of the study of biography, is lost by the purely ideal aspect in which the youthful imagination contemplates a Grecian sage, or a Roman hero. The spheres of distinction, in which they were illustrious, were so different from those to which men are now attracted that very little of wholesome incentive or needed encouragement can be derived from them. We behold them to admire, not to imitate. Therefore, in full harmony with the spirit of the age, as well as the wants of our nature, we offer these biographies of the builders of this newest and greatest of nations as exemplars of ideals which we can understand, and which will encourage old and young to better citizenship and sturdier faithfulness to our great heritage. For the average general reader to own the parent work, in its dozen imperial volumes, is beyond present hope. We have culled from its pages the roll of the master-builders, and present them at their work, showing its process, progress, and perfection. When this book is digested, the desire to add to this knowledge of the master-builders the minor and multiplied experiences of the twenty thousand, as earnest if not so conspicuous, workmen, will make the value of the parent Cyclopaedia appreciated, and create a desire for its possession."

No nation was born great. Nations are built by men of passion, vision and wisdom. A poor nation is not necessarily a nation without money, but a nation void of men of ideas. Nation Builders are not necessarily politicians; for a politician to become a Nation Builder, he or she must experience real heart and soul conversion. Most politicians are merely opportunists, clamoring for greater portion of their national cake for self aggrandizement. True Nation Builders are treasures in every nation; and their absence is one of the greatest deprivations a nation can ever experience. Who are Nation Builders? How are they prepared for their mission? History is full of ordinary individuals whose passion, vision and wisdom expressed in the nation building story of their nations was superior to that of their peers. These breed of individuals are the true makers of history in every nation. They have their names written in the hearts of their people and the world. Researching on these special breed of individuals and uncovering the attributes, which made them the builders of their nations is what has made this work possible. In this extraordinary classic on Nation Builders, Dr. Benard Etta shares light on the qualities of Nation Builders. The book 'Nation Builders' provide answers to the question of who Nation Builders are and how they are prepared for their mission. This book takes the subject nation building from the palaces of politics into the streets, prison houses, schools, marketplaces, etc, with the aim of inspiring just everyone to become a nation builder in their respective nations. Dr. Benard Etta believes everyone is supposed to be a nation builder in the best way possible based on each individual's potential. No nation can progressively develop without the contribution of its people in nation building. Serving one's nation and contributing to its development is the greatest achievement of one's citizenship. Citizenship is not just a privilege for one to demand from his or her country, but a responsibility to contribute in making a difference in one's nation. I see this book inspiring a fresh passion and involvement in the hearts and minds of people the world over for the building of their nations.
