As one can surmise from the title, the book is intended to introduce the readers to several American public figures that were famous at the time the book was written. Amongst these individuals were Daniel Webster (U.S. Congressmen and Secretary of State), Theodosia Burr Alston (daughter of Aaron Burr), Stephen Girard (U.S.'s first multimillionaire), and Charles Goodyear (inventor of vulcanized rubber).
