Abstract

There is no other reference source for biographical information that has the reach of the detail that the National Cyclopedia of American Biography has. Extending back to colonial times, and up to today's community leaders, NCAB presents a detailed picture of almost every famous American that one could think of. Certainly more than one would ever know of.
