Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How a committed journalist transformed a small town daily newspaper—and how that editorial success inspired his policies as President of the United States. President Warren G. Harding’s thirty-nine-year career as a newspaperman is often treated as a footnote. This book offers a unique approach to the Harding story, presenting him as he saw himself: as a newspaperman. His political successes were based on the thinking of a newspaper editor—balancing all of the facets of an issue, examining the facts and weighing the effect on the constituents. Even his approach to balancing the federal budget was built on early experience at his small, struggling newspaper, where his motto was: “All paid in, all paid out, books even.” The only member of the Fourth Estate to enter the White House, Harding found his voice through the pages of the Marion Daily Star. Author Sheryl Smart Hall offers an intimate view of the man, often as seen through the eyes of those who knew him best—his co-workers at the Star. Includes photos

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Presidents are ranked wrong. In The Jazz Age President: Defending Warren G. Harding, Ryan Walters mounts a case that Harding deserves to move up—and supplies the evidence to make that case strong. -Amity Shlaes, bestselling author of Coolidge He's the butt of political jokes, frequently subjected to ridicule, and almost never absent a "Worst Presidents" list where he most often ends up at the bottom. Historians have labeled him the "Worst President Ever," "Dead Last," "Unfit," and "Incompetent," to name but a few. Many contemporaries were equally cruel. H. L. Mencken called him a "nitwit." To Alice Roosevelt Longworth, he was a "slob." Such is the current reputation of our 29th President, Warren Gamaliel Harding. In an interesting survey in 1982, which divided the scholarly respondents into "conservative" and "liberal" categories, both groups picked Harding as the worst President. But historian Ryan Walters shows that Harding, a humble man from Marion, Ohio, has been unfairly remembered. He quickly fixed an economy in depression and started the boom of the Roaring Twenties, healed a nation in the throes of social disruption, and reversed America’s interventionist foreign policy.

Book excerpt: "Both a page-turning drama and an inspiration for every reader" -- Hillary Rodham Clinton The nail-biting climax of one of the greatest political battles in American history: the ratification of the constitutional amendment that granted women the right to vote. Nashville, August 1920. Thirty-five states have approved the Nineteenth Amendment, granting women the right to vote; one last state--Tennessee--is needed for women's voting rights to be the law of the land. The suffragists face vicious opposition from politicians, clergy, corporations, and racists who don't want black women voting. And then there are the "Antis"--women who oppose their own enfranchisement, fearing suffrage will bring about the nation's moral collapse. And in one hot summer, they all converge for a confrontation, replete with booze and blackmail, betrayal and courage. Following a handful of remarkable women who led their respective forces into battle, The Woman's Hour is the gripping story of how America's women won their own freedom, and the opening campaign in the great twentieth-century battles for civil rights.

Download or read book Dead Last written by Phillip G. Payne and published by Ohio University Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2009 CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title If George Washington and Abraham Lincoln are the saints in America’s civil religion, then the twenty-ninth president, Warren G. Harding, is our sinner. Prior to the Nixon administration, the Harding scandals were the most infamous of the twentieth century. Harding is consistently judged a failure, ranking dead last among his peers. By examining the public memory of Harding, Phillip G. Payne offers the first significant reinterpretation of his presidency in a generation. Rather than repeating the old stories, Payne examines the contexts and continued meaning of the Harding scandals for various constituencies. Payne explores such topics as Harding’s importance as a midwestern small-town booster, his rumored black ancestry, the role of various biographers in shaping his early image, the tension between public memory and academic history, and, finally, his status as an icon of presidential failure in contemporary political debates. Harding was a popular president and was widely mourned when he died in office in 1923; but with his death began the construction of his public memory and his fall from political grace. In Dead Last, Payne explores how Harding’s name became synonymous with corruption, cronyism, and incompetence and how it is used to this day as an example of what a president should not be.

Download or read book Journey Through My Years written by James Middleton Cox and published by Mercer University Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the thrilling story of a full and exciting life. James M. Cox was a newspaper publisher at age twenty-eight, a congressman preceding World War I, and governor of Ohio during war years and in the crucial period of adjustment that followed. He was a presidential candidate and observer at dose range of most of the events and personalities which shaped the destiny of the United States for nearly fifty years. With Mr. Cox we go behind the scenes with the Wright Brothers, his neighbors in Dayton, Ohio, as they are about to launch the aeronautical era; we live through a half dozen vital Washington administrations, starting with President Taft's; we witness Cox's battle for vital prison reforms in 1912; we see the devastating Ohio floods of 1913 that swept into beautiful Miami Valley, nearly inundated the state and brought about one of the most brilliant flood-control projects of modern times. We witness the complete overhauling of the government in Ohio, a project which he fathered, along with the new constitution which implemented the whole program. We watch the strange antics of John Patterson, National Cash Register genius, who falls under the spell of a valet--and sues Mr. Cox for a million dollars for libel. We see at close range the intricate political campaign that elected President Wilson, and are told with new, never-before published facts the interesting story of the political conspiracy of 1919-1920, which led to the defeat of the League of Nations and the death of Woodrow Wilson. We get new slants on Warren Harding and his notorious betrayal by the Ohio gang; on William Jennings Bryan, John W. Davis and Al Smith, and on Roosevelt and the New Deal. We go with Cox to theWorld Monetary and Economic Conference in London in 1933, where he was vice chairman of the U.S. delegation, and hear an entirely new story of what actually happened there. This is a book of first-hand history, as seen and reported by one of the great trained observers of our times.
