Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Career of Leonard Wood IN these days immediately following the Great War it is well upon beginning anything - even a modest biographical sketch - to consider a few elementals and distinguish them from the changing unessentials, to keep a sound basis of sense and not be led into hysteria, to look carefully again at the beams of our house and not be deceived into thinking that the plaster and the wall paper are the supports of the building. Let us consider a. Few of these elementals that apply to the subject in hand as well as to the rest of the universe - elemental truths which do not change, which no Great War can alter in the least, which serve as guides at all times and will help at every doubtful point. They range themselves somewhat as follows. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt: ... the life of leonard wood i Early Boyhood And School, Days A little more than twenty years ago--the exact date was December 12, 1899--Leonard Wood, a Major-General of volunteers, received the oddest, and at least in some respects the most interesting, order that any government has ever issued to an army officer. He was appointed Military Governor of an island which had for four hundred years been a colonial dependency of one of the most reactionary monarchies on the face of the globe, and ordered to train its million and a half inhabitants for democratic self-government, and do the job as quickly as he could and then come home. The appointment made him absolute ruler over the island and its inhabitants. He became, in fact, if not in name, a monarch. His job was to build and rebuild and repair all the civil institutions of the island, such as the courts, the customs and postal departments, the school system, the electoral system, and to supervise and aid the writing of a constitution. Wood finished the job in two years and a half and came home. Two years before receiving this appointment to rehabilitate Cuba and set her on her own independent feet, Wood was an obscure army surgeon with the rank of a captain. Long before he had finished with Cuba he was an international figure. When he came home, he was assigned to a somewhat minor post in the Philippines. After that he became Chief-of-Staff in Washington. Then he was shifted from one post to another such as any General might fill. To-day he is commander of the Central Department with headquarters in the half-empty War Department building in Chicago, a few blocks north of the Chicago River; and he is more talked about throughout this country than when he was sole master of the island of...

Download or read book Armed Progressive written by and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2009-12-01 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gen. Leonard Wood?s meteoric career was no fluke. The ambitious Wood (1860?1927), serving as an army physician, strategically took on tasks and assignments that led him from the pursuit of Geronimo in the deserts of the Southwest (for which he won the Medal of Honor) to chief of staff of the U.S. Army and almost to the presidency of the United States. During his rise to high office, the darker side of Wood?s personality became legend. Able administrator and sincere patriot, Wood, together with friend Theodore Roosevelt, organized the famous ?Rough Riders? during the Spanish-American War. Unfortunately, Wood possessed a consuming and obsessive ambition, as well as the willingness to advance his own interests over the ruin of others and in the face of political disapproval. Despite personal rivalries and feuds, Wood earned national prominence with his successes as a colonial administrator in Cuba and the Philippines, yet he was denied the two things he wanted most: an active role in the fighting of World War I and the presidency of the United States. ø Armed Progressive, a critical study of Wood?s quest for power and his tremendous achievements, helps us to understand this pivotal figure who played such a dominant role at the turn of the century. Jack C. Lane provides historical insight and political assessment and captures the essence of this capable, ambitious, proud, bigoted, and self-righteous man.

Download or read book Leonard Wood written by Jack McCallum and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2005-12-01 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most fascinating but least remembered figures in modern American history, Major General Leonard Wood (1860-1927) was, with his close friend Theodore Roosevelt, an icon of U.S. imperialism as the nation evolved into a global power at the dawn of the twentieth century. The myriad of roles that Wood played in his extraordinary career offer a mirror image of the country's expansion from the urban Northeast to the western frontier to Latin America and the Far East. Boston surgeon, Indian fighter, U.S. Army Chief of Staff, Medal of Honor winner, commander of the Rough Riders in the Spanish-American War, Governor General of the Philippines, and presidential candidate, Wood was one of a select cadre of men that transformed the American military at the turn of the century, turning it into a modern fighting force and the nation into a world power. Throughout his life, Wood tested the division between military and civilian power to its very limits. His 1920 presidential campaign and his conflicts with civilian politicians were harbingers of the struggles that Generals Douglas MacArthur and Dwight D. Eisenhower would face as they moved from the battlefield to Washington following World War II. Jack McCallum has mined Wood's extensive personal records—including diaries, correspondence, and photographs—to create a vivid portrait of a complex man and the legacy he left on U.S. imperialism. America's rapid conquest of Cuba and the Philippines and the subsequent political and economic reconstruction it imposed under Wood's military supervision in these regions have important parallels to current U.S. involvement in the Middle East, both in its successes and its failures.
