( About the Book Titles about politicians relate to peopl...)
About the Book Titles about politicians relate to people who were active in party politics, or sought office in government. These include politicians in both democratic and non-democratic countries. Some politicians that were engaged in the art or science of government, created laws or policies that governed their countries and the people who lived in them. These may be biographies or autobiographies. Also in this Book Our offering includes memoirs, or collections of memories that individuals have written about moments or events, both public or private, that took place in their lives. While the assertions made in these works are generally taken to be factual, the biases or perspectives of the authors are often present. Historically, memoirs have been defined as a subcategory of biography or autobiography, however the genre is differentiated in form, since it presents a narrower focus. While a biography or autobiography tells the story "of a life", a memoir generally tells the story "from a life", tending to emphasize touchstone events and turning points in the author's life experience. The authors are referred to as memoirists or memorialists. About us Leopold Classic Library has the goal of making available to readers the classic books that have been out of print for decades.

(This book was originally published prior to 1923, and rep...)
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Samuel Walton Garman was born on June 5, 1843, in Indiana County, Pennsylvania, where his parents, Benjamin and Sarah Ann (Griffith) Garman, were settlers.
In his later years, Samuel Garman told inquirers that “hardly a distinct recollection of childhood or a village school is left to me; all are lost or vague and dreamlike. ” He left home when a mere boy and drifted westward where he had a part in surveying the routes for the Union Pacific Railroad.
He fought Indians and shot game for food for the working crews during those months. Finally, his desire for education led him to the Illinois State Normal University at Normal, Illinois, where he was graduated in 1870.
For two years after his graduation, Samuel Garman tried teaching, in 1870-71 as principal of the Mississippi State Normal School and in 1871-72, as professor of natural sciences, in Ferry Hall Seminary, at Lake Forest, Illinois.
Not finding in teaching the career, he desired and being keenly interested in natural history, he made his way to California in 1872 and at San Francisco came under the captivating spell of Louis Agassiz. This was the turning point of his life, for he went East with Agassiz and became one of his devoted pupils.
He served faithfully in connection with the famous summer school of natural history which Agassiz established at Penikese Island and at the same time he began that association with the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard University which continued throughout his life.
In 1874, he accompanied Alexander Agassiz on a scientific expedition to Lake Titicaca, South America, and he was also at times associated with him in his voyages for the exploration of the sea in the West Indian region. But little by little, Garman became completely absorbed in his work as curator of fishes at the Museum in Cambridge, and as the years passed, he was less and less inclined to make journeys or even to mingle with his fellow scientists.
He thus gradually became a recluse and was little known even to many of his colleagues.

(Excerpt from The Plagiostomia, (Sharks, Skates and Rays):...)
In 1921, Garman was made a member of the Linnean Society of London.
The study of sharks, and their near relatives, the skates and the rays, became Garman's chief interest and he rapidly made for himself a reputation as one of the world’s foremost authorities on that important group.
He published altogether some fifty papers on fishes and others of less importance on reptiles and amphibians.
On September 2, 1895, Garman was married to Florence Armstrong of St. John, N. B. , and one daughter was born to them.
