Book excerpt: Excerpt from President I Have Seen and Known, Lincoln to Taft and a Day in Washington's Country The chief glory of every people arises from its authors. -dr. 701mm. 0 have known, or even to have seen, Abraham Lincoln and I the Presidents of the United States who have presided over the destinies of the American people since his eventful time is a privilege and an experience that should be recorded, preserved and cherished as a rare inheritance for posterity. There is no more significant period in the history of the country than the years from 1861 to the present time. Within this period Lincoln's hope of national unity has been realized. When he took the oath of ofiice Lincoln found a federation of states loosely bound together, struggling with problems that involved the very existence of the nation. The genius of his administration and the memory of his inspired life have settled for all time the question as to whether the states of the Union are to have vigorous national entity. With the solution of the questions 0} slavery and secession and the establishment of a stable and permanent federal government came an industrial progress such as the world had not before experienced. This marvelously rapid advance of the coun try has given rise to new problems almost as serious in their import as those that Lincoln faced. The Presidents of the United States since 1861 have been statesmen competent, each in his turn, to deal with complex situations of world-wide importance. Happily for the people, when, in the march of events, the time came for the introduc tion of this nation as a world power, William mckinley presided at Washington as their leader, Commander-in-chief of the Army and the Navy; and with the dignity and grace that characterized its chief tain the country took its place among those nations that are powerful in the control of the destinies of the people of the earth. Anyone who has known the great Presidents since Buchanan, and has correctly interpreted their acts and motives, as has Mr. Butler, must have a well defined and correct appreciation of the meaning of the country's history for the past fifty years, for a nation's history is best told in the lives of its statesmen. The wide and varied experi ence of Joseph G. Butler, Jr., his many warm friendships, his intimate relations with the great men of his time - especially the affectionate regard that mckinley had for him - enable him to make a record of the events and friendships of this eventful period that must have a great and perpetual value; and in so doing Mr. Butler has performed a patriotic service of great importance.

Book Synopsis Tad Lincoln's Father by : Julia Taft Bayne
Download or read book Tad Lincoln's Father written by Julia Taft Bayne and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2001-01-01 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To others, he was the American President, one of the most powerful men in the world, presiding over one of the most horrific wars in history. But to Julia Taft, he was Tad Lincoln's father. Invited to the White House to watch over her two brothers, who were playmates of the Lincolns' sons, Julia had an intimate perspective on the First Family's home life, which she describes with charm and candor in this book. A rare look behind the public facade of the great man, Julia's affectionate account of the Lincolns at home is rich with examples of the humor and love that held the family together and that helped the President endure the pressures of governing a nation divided. ø Abraham and Mary Todd Lincoln often expressed their regret at not having a daughter of their own. Julia Taft thus enjoyed a special place in their lives, and her memoir reveals the warmth she elicited from the couple. She speaks of her initial fear of Lincoln?the towering, rough-and-tumble backwoodsman?who won her over with teasing, and of her relationship with Mary, who was never really accepted into Washington social life and took particular comfort in Julia's presence. ø A unique glimpse into the social life of the Lincoln White House, Julia Taft Bayne's memoir shows us the human drama played out daily behind the great pageant of history.

Book Synopsis William Howard Taft by : Jeffrey Rosen
Download or read book William Howard Taft written by Jeffrey Rosen and published by Times Books. This book was released on 2018-03-20 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The only man to serve as president and chief justice, who approached every decision in constitutional terms, defending the Founders’ vision against new populist threats to American democracy William Howard Taft never wanted to be president and yearned instead to serve as chief justice of the United States. But despite his ambivalence about politics, the former federal judge found success in the executive branch as governor of the Philippines and secretary of war, and he won a resounding victory in the presidential election of 1908 as Theodore Roosevelt’s handpicked successor. In this provocative assessment, Jeffrey Rosen reveals Taft’s crucial role in shaping how America balances populism against the rule of law. Taft approached each decision as president by asking whether it comported with the Constitution, seeking to put Roosevelt’s activist executive orders on firm legal grounds. But unlike Roosevelt, who thought the president could do anything the Constitution didn’t forbid, Taft insisted he could do only what the Constitution explicitly allowed. This led to a dramatic breach with Roosevelt in the historic election of 1912, which Taft viewed as a crusade to defend the Constitution against the demagogic populism of Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson. Nine years later, Taft achieved his lifelong dream when President Warren Harding appointed him chief justice, and during his years on the Court he promoted consensus among the justices and transformed the judiciary into a modern, fully equal branch. Though he had chafed in the White House as a judicial president, he thrived as a presidential chief justice.

Book Synopsis The Bully Pulpit by : Doris Kearns Goodwin
Download or read book The Bully Pulpit written by Doris Kearns Goodwin and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-11-05 with total page 912 pages. 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.
