Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Man Pinchot: A Character Sketch of the Popular Candidate and Answer to Candidate McSparran When a man is nominated by a great party of men and women for the Governorship of the State richest in resources, and of most diverse strains of population, in our country, it arouses curiosity and concern. Everyone in hamlet or proletariat, villa or city mansion, wants to know something about "this man Pinchot"; in other words, "what manner of man he is". The following paragraphs were written by one who claims no degree of intimacy with him, nor special facility for observation, but who has worked with him and in the days work has recorded these among many other favorable impressions. Personal Appearance When the writer first saw Gifford Pinchot it was on a bright morning in the late winter of 1914, the place Harrisburg, the occasion the presentation of a silver loving cup to the late Dr. J. T. Rothrock, "Father of Pennsylvania Forestry," by a group of admiring friends from all over the. United States. Just before the luncheon commenced, a tall figure entered the room, in looks like a mural, by Puvis de Chavannes, of some Frankish King, with keen blue eyes, aquiline features, and handsome drooping blonde mustache. He gave the impression of a knightly figure of old; if not a king, a king´s champion, in the present instance in the lists for the public´s good. The best friend the American people as a whole have ever had. He was Gifford Pinchot, former forester of the United States, but then a private citizen of Milford, Pike County, Pennsylvania.
