Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ancestry of William Howard Taft The first known American ancestor of the Taft family is Robert Taft, or Taffe, who was born about 1640. The date of his coming to New England is unknown, but he was one of the Braintree men who formed the new village of Mendon, Massachusetts, when the latter was set off from Braintree, in 1667. In 1678 he still owned a lot in Braintree, which he sold to Caleb Hobart, 18 November, 1679. At Mendon he was a man of influence in the conduct of affairs. An indication of this is the title of respect given to him in the early records, for to be called "Mr." was always a distinction among our democratie forebears. He served on the first Board of Selectmen in 1680, and in the same year was a member of the committee appointed to build a house for the minister. This office, in the good old New England days when the minister was the great man of the community, was one of trust and dignity, and, in Robert Taft's case, it was also bestowed upon him because of his technical fitness, his trade being that of a housewright.

Download or read book William Howard Taft written by Jonathan Lurie and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-11-14 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this biographical study of the only American ever to have been both President and Chief Justice of the United States, Jonathan Lurie reassesses William Howard Taft's multiple careers, which culminated in Taft's election to the presidency in 1908 as the chosen successor to Theodore Roosevelt. By 1912, however, the relationship between Taft and Roosevelt had ruptured. Lurie re-examines the Taft–Roosevelt friendship and concludes that it rested on flimsy ground. He also places Taft in a progressive context, taking Taft's own self-description as 'a believer in progressive conservatism' as the starting point. At the end of his biography, Lurie concludes that this label is accurate when applied to Taft.
Download or read book William Howard Taft written by Judith Icke Anderson and published by W. W. Norton. This book was released on 1981-10-01 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with the impact of Taft's numerous inner conflicts and his decision-making ability--and, in particular, on his frequent failure to make decisions at all. Here is the evolution of Taft's conflicts and extraordinary dependencies, which began in childhood, were exacerbated by certain kinds of success--all of which were peculiarly illuminated by fluctuations in his weight. We also see his marriage to Helen Herron Taft, a woman whose influence was powerful--and that is perhaps the most significant key to our understanding of Taft's career. We see for the first time how the reluctant Taft was pushed into office by his indomitable wife. Here, too, is an analysis of his unique personal relationship with Theodore Roosevelt, a tragicomic affair that, when it broke up, left Taft demoralized. Perhaps far more than most men who have achieved great public office, Taft was a product and a victim of his ties to those he loved.

Book excerpt: William Howard Taft never wanted to be president, but won resounding victory in the election of 1908 as Theodore Roosevelt's handpicked successor.
