'''Encyclopedia of American Biography''', a biographical encyclopedia, by John A. Garraty (ed.) and Jerome L. Sternstein (assoc. ed.) This encyclopedia, published by Harper & Row in 1974, "is more than a storehouse of information....It is also a compendium of informed opinion intended to aid readers who want to know the ''whys'', not merely the ''whats'', about the significant figures of our history." After the summary of each life which sticks to the facts, follows an article "...attempting to explain why the individual is notable and to provide some sense of what he or she was like as a human being." __NOTOC__ :[[#A|A]] - [[#B|B]] - [[#C|C]] - [[#D|D]] - [[#E|E]] - [[#F|F]] - [[#G|G]] - [[#H|H]] - [[#I|I]] - [[#J|J]] - [[#K|K]] - [[#L|L]] - [[#M|M]] - [[#N|N]] - [[#O|O]] - [[#P|P]] - [[#Q|Q]] - [[#R|R ]] - [[#S|S]] - [[#T|T]] - [[#U|U]] - [[#V|V]] - [[#W|W]] - [[#X|X]] - [[#Y|Y]] - [[#Z|Z]] ==Entries== ===A=== * [[Grace Abbott]] (1878-1939), Social Worker * [[Dean Gooderham Acheson]] (1893-1971), Diplomat * [[Brooks Adams]] (1848-1927), Historian * [[Charles Francis Adams, Sr.|Charles Francis Adams]] (1807-1886), Political Leader and Diplomat * [[Charles Francis Adams, Jr.]] (1835-1915), Railroad Executive and Historian * [[Henry Brooks Adams]] (1838-1918), Historian * [[Henry Carter Adams]] (1851-1921), Economist * [[Herbert Baxter Adams]] (1850-1901), Historian * [[John Adams]] (1735-1826), President * [[John Quincy Adams]] (1767-1848), President * [[Samuel Adams]] (1722-1803), Political Leader * [[Jane Addams]] (1860-1935), Reformer * [[Jean Louis Rodolphe Agassiz]] (1807-1873), Scientist * [[Spiro Theodore Agnew]] (1918-), Political Leader * [[Edward Franklin Albee]] (1928-), Playwright * [[William Foxwell Albright]] (1891-1971), Archaeologist and Orientalist * [[Louisa May Alcott]] (1832-1888), Writer * [[Nelson Wilmarth Aldrich]] (1841-1915), Political Leader * [[Horatio Alger, Jr.]] (1834-1899), Writer * [[Muhammad Ali]] (1942-), Boxer * [[Richard Allen (Reverend)|Richard Allen]] (1760-1831), Religious Leader * [[William Boyd Allison]] (1829-1908), Political Leader * [[John Peter Altgeld]] (1847-1902), Political Leader * [[Marian Anderson]] (1902-), Singer * [[Maxwell Anderson]] (1888-1959), Playwright * [[Edmund Andros]] (1637-1714), Colonial Governor * [[James Burrill Angell]] (1829-1916), Educator * [[Susan Brownell Anthony]] (1820-1906), Reformer * [[Daniel Louis Armstrong]] (1900-1971), Musician * [[Benedict Arnold]] (1741-1801), Military Leader * [[Chester Alan Arthur]] (1829-1886), President * [[William Henry Ashley]] (1778-1838), Businessman, Political Leader * [[John Jacob Astor]] (1763-1848), Merchant * [[Edward Atkinson]] (1827-1905), Economist * [[John James Audubon]] (1785-1851), Artist and Scientist * [[Stephen_Fuller_Austin_(1793-1836)|Stephen Fuller Austin]] (1793-1836), Political Leader ===B=== *[[Irving Babbitt]] (1865-1933), philosopher *[[Nathaniel Bacon]] (1647-1676), political leader *[[George Frederick Baer]] (1842-1914), financier *[[Newton Diehl Baker]] (1871-1937), political leader *[[Ray Stannard Baker]] (1870-1946), journalist and reformer *[[George Balanchine]] (b. 1904), choreographer *[[James Arthur Baldwin]] (b. 1924), writer *[[George Bancroft]] (1800-1891), historian, political leader *[[Benjamin Banneker]] (1731-1806), scientist *[[Joel Barlow]] (1754-1812), poet *[[Henry Barnard]] (1811-1900), educator *[[Phineas Taylor Barnum]] (1810-1891), impresario *[[John Barrymore]] (1882-1942), actor *[[Bruce Barton]] (1886-1967), advertising executive, writer *[[Clara Barton]] (1821-1912), nurse, reformer *[[Bernard Mannes Baruch]] (1870-1965), financier *[[Thomas Francis Bayard]] (1828-1898), political leader, diplomat *[[Charles Austin Beard]] (1874-1948), historian *[[William Beaumont]] (1785-1853), physician *[[Pierre Gustave Toutant Beauregard]] (1818-1893), military leader [[Category:United States biographical dictionaries|Encyclopedia of American Biography]]
