Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life and Distinguished Services of Hon. Wm; McKinley: And the Great Issues of 1896, Containing Also a Sketch of the Life of Garret A. Hobart On the day before Major McKinley was nominated for the Presidency, an artist distinguished for the fetching touch of his pencil in catching and fixing likenesses in a few lines, stood in the door of a room where the Major was seated, and never having before seen the famous face, was regarding it with personal and professional intensity, when an acquaintance approached him and said, "Have you been introduced to the Governor?" "No," said the artist; "not yet, presently gladly. Let me study him a moment unbeknown, just as he is. Why there is no picture that does him justice. I am right glad to see him when he has no idea of a possible sketch, and no thought of himself. I did not think so, but he is a great man. He is splendid, and there is no one like him in the country. Why did any one ever say he was not a strong man?" The artist perceived at a glance what all who study Major McKinley find out - that he is a strong man and a great one. He is a fortunate combination of excellent, admirable, and lovable traits and qualities. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
