In the Days of McKinley

In this immensely readable book Margaret Leech has written absorbingly of a little-known personage of our past. McKinley Emerges as a man of charm and a certain wry wit—courteously reticent, and little understood even by his closest friends.

With her skill as a writer and her sharp sense of drama, Miss Leech places McKinley against the background of his period and among his contemporaries. In the Days of McKinley, as Allan Nevins has said, "will satisfy the historical student as the best treatment yet given a neglected leader and stirring epoch; it will apeal to the general reader as a work of fine literary art."
