The Americanization of Edward Bok: The Autobiography of a Dutch Boy Fifty Years After ; with Illustrations

More interesting than expected An aspect of reading book lists, biographies and award winning books chronologically is the reality that so many books in these various lists bunch up in the same era. In one of my lists, the presidentialbiographychallenge , I have been reading, and re-reading so much about the period between the #spanishamericanwar and worldwari which involved the presidencies of #williammckinley ,#theodoreroosevelt , #williamhowardtaft and, most recently, #woodrowwilson which, between them, involved eight books. As so much history overlaps, particularly as they involve politics and world events, there are naturally recurring characters, some major historical characters, but quite often, obscure characters that barely warrant remembrance. One such character was #edwardbok . This seemingly humble, immigrant editor of the #ladieshomejournal turned out to be a tertiary but, impactful character as he spent time and had the ear of some of the most powerful people of history!
