NOTE: The index of this printed book is very incomplete. As printed within the book itself, it contains only a small portion of the names actually mentioned in biographies and elsewhere in its pages, and does not list even the names of persons whose biographies appear in its pages.
The index below is the printed index from the book and adds the names of biographical subjects. However, it does not list all of the names mentioned within the text of the biographies. Consequently, this index is still very incomplete, for the book mentions many more persons. I do not know of a comprehensive, inclusive index which has been compiled for this particular book. It is recommended that until we have such an index, interested researchers gain access to a copy of the book and look through it at their leisure for other possible references. If a biography is online, a link to it appears with the individual's name.
We currently have no individual to do lookups from this book. However, you may refer to the Bibliography page to see where you may gain access a copy or where it may be available for interlibrary-loan.
Select a letter of the alphabet to go to that part of the list.
