Blography is both a craft and an art. As a craftsman, the biographer begins with research
gathering all the available information about a person's life. There are first the surface facts
about a chosen subject then the biographer looks beneath the surface for evidence of inner
truths - what the man or woman thought, felt, desire, suffered.
The biographer as an artist sets down the meaning of a person's life. With his research at hand,

Biography may be written out of love or hate but never out of indifference. It may take years
to write. It may require thousands of hours of study in libraries, law courts, halls of records city
