This article presents information about the book "The Romantic Rise of a Great American," by Russell H. Conwell. In his opening sentence. Mr. Conwell writes that his task is not writing a biography but to tell the story of his friend John Wanamaker whose business was intended to be a daily benefaction and whose amazing success was in itself a benediction on the rising generation. The artistic spirit was so strong in Wanamaker that he sometimes destroyed such of his inspired utterances as were not conceived in a fine enough frenzy. As a narrator of the obvious, as a pointer of shop-worn morals and as a screamingly amusing encomiast, Mr. Conwell is a genius of formidable proportions.
