5776. From Harrison to Harding A Personal Narrative, Covering a Third of a Century, 1888-1921 Volume II, by Arthur Wallace Dunn (read 22 Jan 2022) This second volume covers the time from 1904 till 1921. I found it fascinating reading, telling how that period seemed to the author as of 1922.

He discusses the events and the persons involved in them and often names congressmen I never heard of but also relates events familiar to one who is acquainted with the political history of the time. I am looking forward to volume 2 and what he will say about Wilson, though it seems pretty clear that he tends to admire Republicans and frequently talked to them but to Democrats not so much. .… (lisätietoja)
