Validating Author's Preface examples

Hello there,
So, in the last blog we tried to understand "Author's Preface" of book "Think and Grow Rich".

In this post we will try to validate all the examples provided by Napoleon Hill in Author's Preface.

Claim: Did Napoleon Hill actually meet Andrew Carnegie?

There are lot of text on internet which claim otherwise, like this and this. In fact few site claim that entire book is bullshit.

I am looking for proof's that Napoleon actually meet Andrew Carnegie. Please post here in comments or send me directly. 

Claim: J. G. Chapline, president of LaSalle Extension University used the Carnegie Secret

Again active search on internet could not gave me any proof about the use of formula by J. G. Chaplin. Though you might find that Hill did worked with him for short period.

But as per wiki J. G. Chapline died in 1937 and TaGR was first published in 1937. 

Claim: President Woodrow Wilson used his secret extensively during WWI. 

Again, I tried to find a concrete reference, but failed to prove the claim. Here is a link discussing this question.

Claim: Manuel L. Quezon used the secret and become first president of free state

Apart of anecdotes and reference of the 'Think and Grow Rich' book, nothing concrete can be found on internet about it.

Other mentions and indirect claims

Mentions of Charles M. Schwab is in context of Mr. Carnegie and Napoleon Hill has nothing to do with it.

Other names mentioned are
"HENRY FORD WILLIAM WRIGLEY JR. JOHN WANAMAKER JAMES J. HILL GEORGE S. PARKER E. M. STATLER HENRY L. DOHERTY CYRUS H. K. CURTIS GEORGE EASTMAN THEODORE ROOSEVELT JOHN W. DAVIS ELBERT HUBBARD WILBUR WRIGHT WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN DR. DMTID STARR JORDAN J. ODGEN ARMOUR CHARLES M. SCHWAB HARRIS F. WILLIAMS DR. FRANK GUNSAULUS DANIEL WILLARD KING GILLETTE RALPH A. WEEKS JUDGE DANIEL T. WRIGHT JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER THOMAS A. EDISON FRANK A. VANDERLIP F. W. WOOLWORTH COL. ROBERT A. DOLLAR EDWARD A. FILENE EDWIN C. BARNES ARTHUR BRISBANE WOODROW WILSON WM. HOWARD TAFT LUTHER BURBANK EDWARD W. BOK FRANK A. MUNSEY ELBERT H. GARY DR. ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL JOHN H. PATTERSON JULIUS ROSENWALD STUART AUSTIN WIER DR. FRANK CRANE GEORGE M. ALEXANDER J. G. CHAPPLINE HON. JENNINGS RANDOLPH ARTHUR NASH CLARENCE DARROW"

These famous/successful man is listed as from whom he learned this secret and not to whom Napoleon gave Carnegie Secret to.

Thats it for now. I guess I will be back with first chapter, it details and experiments. See you tell then.
