The book aims to preserve and promote the memory of these distinguished individuals while providing educational value to readers.

Peele articulates a desire to compile these sketches as a means to foster a unique literary tradition and to provide readers with historical insights. The preface also discusses the challenges of historical documentation and underscores the need for accurate representations of the state's past.
