RE: The book proposal
Joe,
I read Pringle's two-volume biography of Taft on a lark, and it was one of the most interesting presidential biographies I've read. Plus, if I could write half as well as Edmund Morris...... Anyone interested to see the firepower that S.S. McClure had on his staff should go to the Internet Archive and browse the copies available of McClure's Magazine. Not only did he have Tarbell, Ray Baker and Lincoln Steffans, but he was one of the first to recognize the talent of Kipling and O. Henry. One of the unsung heroes of McClure's Magazine was a woman named Viola Roseboro, who had a knack for discovering writers. It's a fascinating story. Best Rob Abraham Lincoln is the only man, dead or alive, with whom I could have spent five years without one hour of boredom. --Ida M. Tarbell
I want the respect of intelligent men, but I will choose for myself the intelligent. --Carl Sandburg
