Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Sixty Years of American Life: Taylor to Roosevelt, 1850 to 1910
American life as I have seen it for sixty years is what I have tried to describe. I hope it may be of interest to my readers, and of value to future historians. As Web ster said in his address to the people of Massachusetts, on Boston Common, in July, 1852: T he character of nations and of men is made out of facts. It is not the portraiture of the pencil so much as it is the narrative of the pen.
