Download or read book The Life and Times of William Howard Taft written by Henry Fowles Pringle and published by Hamden, Conn., Archon Books. This book was released on 1964 with total page 616 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Henry Fowles Pringle (1897–1958) was an American historian and writer most famous for his witty but scholarly biography of Theodore Roosevelt which won the Pulitzer prize in 1932, as well as the scholarly biography of William Howard Taft. Although he won the Pulitzer Prize in biography for Theodore Roosevelt, a Biography, Henry F. Pringle's most famous work is considered The Life and Times of William Howard Taft: A Biography. The William Howard Taft biography was published in 1939 and is often considered the definitive biography of the 27th president. Pringle's biography of Taft was a more balanced and thoughtful piece of work than the Roosevelt study. He had unlimited access to the large collection of Taft papers. Moreover, he discovered in Taft a "tortured soul" whose life could best be understood from the inside rather than from the outside. This offered a more serious challenge to the biographer than the chiefly visible exploits of Teddy Roosevelt. A newspaper reporter, he later become a professor at the Columbia University School of Journalism, and served as chief of the publications division of the Office of War Information in 1942-1943.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pulitzer Prize–winning author and presidential historian Doris Kearns Goodwin’s dynamic history of Theodore Roosevelt, William H. Taft and the first decade of the Progressive era, that tumultuous time when the nation was coming unseamed and reform was in the air. Winner of the Carnegie Medal. Doris Kearns Goodwin’s The Bully Pulpit is a dynamic history of the first decade of the Progressive era, that tumultuous time when the nation was coming unseamed and reform was in the air. The story is told through the intense friendship of Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft—a close relationship that strengthens both men before it ruptures in 1912, when they engage in a brutal fight for the presidential nomination that divides their wives, their children, and their closest friends, while crippling the progressive wing of the Republican Party, causing Democrat Woodrow Wilson to be elected, and changing the country’s history. The Bully Pulpit is also the story of the muckraking press, which arouses the spirit of reform that helps Roosevelt push the government to shed its laissez-faire attitude toward robber barons, corrupt politicians, and corporate exploiters of our natural resources. The muckrakers are portrayed through the greatest group of journalists ever assembled at one magazine—Ida Tarbell, Ray Stannard Baker, Lincoln Steffens, and William Allen White—teamed under the mercurial genius of publisher S.S. McClure. Goodwin’s narrative is founded upon a wealth of primary materials. The correspondence of more than four hundred letters between Roosevelt and Taft begins in their early thirties and ends only months before Roosevelt’s death. Edith Roosevelt and Nellie Taft kept diaries. The muckrakers wrote hundreds of letters to one another, kept journals, and wrote their memoirs. The letters of Captain Archie Butt, who served as a personal aide to both Roosevelt and Taft, provide an intimate view of both men. The Bully Pulpit, like Goodwin’s brilliant chronicles of the Civil War and World War II, exquisitely demonstrates her distinctive ability to combine scholarly rigor with accessibility. It is a major work of history—an examination of leadership in a rare moment of activism and reform that brought the country closer to its founding ideals.

Download or read book Howard Genealogy written by Jarvis Cutler Howard and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Howard Genealogy: A Genealogical Record; Embracing All the Known Descendants in This Country, of Thomas and Susanna Howard, Who Have Borne the Family Name or Have Married Into the Family "And be said, Behold your grave-posts Have no mark, no sign, nor symbol. Go, paint them all with figures, Each one with his household symbol, With its own ancestral totem, So that those who follow after May distinguish them and know them." It seems proper to remark in the first place, negatively, that in commencing the compilation of the following Genealogical Record the writer had no expectation of being able to trace the family back in the mother country to some titled or wealthy ancestor, consequently he has made no effort to retrace the family beyond the first settler in this country. Nor has he ever hoped, by such retrogressive inquiry, to reach in a direct line of descent any one of those vast estates which many think are stored away in foreign treasuries awaiting legitimate claimants. He has little faith that such treasures anywhere exist. Neither, as it has been intimated to him, did he commence the work nor has he prosecuted it to gratify any personal or family pride in recording the names and history of kindred who at any time have made themselves conspicuous in some department of public life. It was assumed at the outset that few, if any, such would appear. Nor, again, was he influenced by any considerations of pecuniary profit that might accrue. If that had been his motive, he would have been greatly disappointed, for, if the expenses incurred were summed up, and a reasonable per diem compensation allowed for the time spent in gathering materials for the work and putting them in order, the cost per volume would exceed many fold the price the writer has purposed to put upon the work.
