He retired from journalism to become superintendent of the San Francisco Mint, 1897-1907. Recollections of a newspaperman (1917) begins as Leach and his mother leave Cayuga County, New York, to rejoin the boy's father in California, where the elder Leach had set up a bottling plant in Sacramento. Leach recalls his boyhood there and in Napa, where the family moved in 1857. He tells of experiences as a printer and newspaper publisher in Napa, Vallejo, and Oakland. Other topics are a rail trip east in 1875, mining speculations, a term in the state legislature, Republican Party politics, ranching, railroad strikes, and his campaign against Oakland bosses and the rail interests. Highlights of his years after journalism are his work at the mint and the San Francisco earthquake and fire of 1906.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early Recollections of a Journalist: 1832-1859 More than sixty years have passed since the writer of the accompanying "Early Recollections" first made his acquaintance with newspaper life. This is a long vista to look back upon and yet the impressions of youth remain vividly on his memory as if they had been of yesterday. Not many of his contemporaries are now in the land of the livings and few there be who can personally know of the enormous changes that have taken place in the newspaper press of Scotland within the last six decades. In the following chapters the writer has endeavoured to give his recollections of the press as it flourished in the earlier years of the century and of the more prominent incidents that came under his observation as a journalist in times so far removed from the present. It will be noticed that he closes his "Recollections" just at the period when the Scottish press entered on its modern career with a vigour and ability that have placed it in the very vanguard of journalistic enterprise. With that advent ceased his connection with the metropolitan press. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Jack Behrens is a nationally known award-winning columnist with the Associated Press and a number of newspapers. Jack's written 24 books including a 1976 best seller Typewriter Guerillas (Nelson Hall). He collaborated with Roots author Alex Haley on a magazine writing textbook and joined Tom Clancy and James Michener in discussions about writing in classes from the Far East to Central New York. Over his 65 years of editorial work, he wrote more than 15,000 articles for such periodicals as Harvard's Nieman Reports, Writer's Digest, Mankind, National Observer, Business Journal and hundreds of others. He was a correspondent for Pacific Stars & Stripes 1957-58. ... Behrens was an American history and journalism professor for 32 years at Utica College. His approach to subject matter interested a number of top professionals who visited his classes. "It isn't to puff his head that I say his course is one of the best, one of the most effective writing classes I have seen including the highly touted classes at a couple of major universities. The reason is that John is not stressing theories about writing. It's learning while working and self-editing. I firmly believe that had I had such a class when I started I could have saved five or more years of trial and error work," Alex Haley Roots author suggested. The late tom Clancy who also visited Behrens' classes, agreed. "Jack makes writing less work and more creative perspiration," observed the Hunt for Red October writer. The reader's Digest foundation supported the view offered by James Michener, author of the 1959 classic Hawaii, about his teaching. "John has that feeling about writing that tells others he's one of us. It is like so many things in life; the devil is in the details." The two men met on Okinawa where Jack was handling an assignment for Pacific Stars & Stripes and Michener was finishing his epic book about the nation's 50th state; Hawaii. In his 24th book Jack share

During his tenure, the devastating 1906 earthquake and subsequent fires destroyed much of the City by the Bay, leaving the nation stunned. Leach and his men saved the old San Francisco Mint building and the bullion that then backed the nation's currency.Leach's description of the earthquake and the catastrophe that followed are by a newspaperman with a front-row seat.Later moving to the nation's capitol, he met with President Teddy Roosevelt and President Taft.
