"Little Journeys to the Homes of the Great - Volume 01" by Elbert Hubbard is a collection of biographical sketches written in the late 19th century. The work serves as a homage to notable figures from history, aiming to offer readers insight into their lives, achievements, and the influence they had on civilization. In effect, the book functions as both a tribute and an exploration of the ideals and philosophies espoused by these prominent personalities. At the start of this volume, the publisher's preface reflects on Hubbard's legacy, noting the significant time he dedicated to producing these inspirational pieces over a span of fourteen years. The preface sets the tone by emphasizing the importance of legacy and individual contributions to society, likening Hubbard's work to that of Plutarch. Hubbard's own autobiographical reflection introduces his entrepreneurial spirit and dedication to enhancing the local community through the Roycroft Shops, which fostered a creative environment for artisans. The introductory portion frames the coming narratives as not just historical recounts, but as personal journeys that resonate with modern aspirations for beauty, craftsmanship, and moral character.
