Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Roosevelt Panic of 1907
Task and inexorable historian shall submit to the judgment of unborn masses the record of the achievements of thisunique figure in the annals of American history. The ruin he may have caused, the homes he may have wrecked, the un speakable misery of want and starvation, or of the dread of them, he may have in flicted, the reckless blunders, the wanton lack of judgment and deliberation, of which a nation of eighty millions, nay, the whole world, has suffered the inevi table consequences - all this shall be writ ten, not in the heat of passion or under the stress of suffering, but coldly and with relentless deliberation, so that final judg ment may be passed and an impartial ver dict handed down to those who hereafter shall rebuild, haply on a more certain foundation, that which in violence and cruel haste has been destroyed.
