Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1915 edition. Excerpt: ... chapter xix Early events in senatorial career--Failure to arrive at working agreement with La Follette over patronage--Requests for aid for La Follette presidential campaign--Convention of 1908--The La Follette platform--Nomination of Taft--The senatorial campaign of 1908--Announcement of my candidacy. T the outset of my service in the Senate the prog ress of political events was smooth enough. One of the first men to congratulate me upon my election was Assemblyman Warner who, Senator La Follette had said, was opposed to me in 1905. On the day after the election Senator La Follette himself telegraphed his congratulations and a week or two later he wrote to me in the friendliest possible vein, saying, among other things: "My dear Senator: It is good to write that down and to know that nothing can ever change it. At last after a quarter of a century justice has been done. I wanted to visit with you and talk it all out, but it will keep and we shall go over it together many times." It began to appear that, despite the misunderstandings that had arisen and the mistakes that had been made, the prospect was clearing and I was willing to look forward rather than backward. But it was not long before I became aware that the purposes of La Follette and of the La Follette organization were not my purposes. This became apparent when the problems of patronage, the first to arise, came up for solution. For the convenience of both of us I desired to come to some sort of understanding regarding offices. This could best be accomplished, it seemed to me at the time, by the exchange of districts, La Follette being more familiar with conditions in the Western district, which had been allotted to me, than I was. This or any other definite arrangement he...

Out of the Northwoods
Author: Michael Edmonds
Publisher: Wisconsin Historical Society
ISBN: 0870204718
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 299
Book Description
Every American has heard of the lumberjack hero Paul Bunyan and his big blue ox. For 100 years his exploits filled cartoons, magazines, short stories, and children's books, and his name advertised everything from pancake breakfasts to construction supplies. By 1950 Bunyan was a ubiquitous icon of America's strength and ingenuity. Until now, no one knew where he came from—and the extent to which this mythical hero is rooted in Wisconsin. Out of the Northwoods presents the culture of nineteenth-century lumberjacks in their own words. It includes eyewitness accounts of how the first Bunyan stories were shared on frigid winter nights, around logging camp stoves, in the Wisconsin pinery. It describes where the tales began, how they moved out of the forest and into print, and why publication changed them forever. Part bibliographic mystery and part social history, Out of the Northwoods explains for the first time why we all know and love Paul Bunyan.
