"A Godly Hero"

Post by Ralph » Wed May 10, 2006 6:36 am

Michael Kazin's new biography of William Jennings Bryan is outstanding. A portrait of a fascinating and much misunderstood man, Bryan deserves to be known for more than the foolish performance he gave at the Scopes "Monkey" trial. Kazin gives sharp insights into American Progressivism and his book is as much a picture of an age as of a man.

When shall we have a new champion to lead the fight for bimetallism? The dream shall never die!
