Book Description
This volume tells the story of the Progressive Party from 1912 to 1916. It was a political party created by a split in the Republican Party in the presidential election of 1912. It was formed by Theodore Roosevelt when he lost the Republican nomination to William Howard Taft and pulled his delegates out of the convention. The party is colloquially also known as the Bull Moose Party, after the party's emblem and after Roosevelt's boast that he was "as strong as a bull moose". Though the author, Amos Pinchot (1872-1944), was a member of Roosevelt's inner circle during the Bull Moose campaign of 1912, Amos exasperated the former president with his moralistic criticism of the role of big business in the party, including his criticism of the party chairman, George W. Perkins, who was a leading industrialist and sat on the board of U.S. Steel. Pinchot ultimately joined the Democratic Party, defended the rights of workers, and became acquainted with leftist intellectuals.

Book Description
Excerpt from History of the Progressive Party, 1912-1916 As a glance at the footnotes for the Biographical Introduction will indicate, the great bulk of my information comes from two sources manuscript material and the personal recollections of people who knew Amos Pinchot. My most important source has been the Amos Pinchot Papers, which are in the Manuscripts Division of the Library of Congress, Washington, DC. Here are deposited carbon copies of his letters, letters to him, drafts of books and articles, memoranda, rough notes, and most of his published material. Second in impor tance for my purposes have been the Gifford Pinchot Papers, that huge repository of material that is also in the Library of Congress. In addition, I have used the lane Addams Papers, the Ray Stannard Baker Papers, the Albert J. Beveridge Papers, the Harold L. Ickes Papers, the Theodore Roosevelt Papers, the Woodrow Wilson Papers, the William Allen White Papers, and the Robert Woolley Papers, all at the Library of Congress. I have also used the William Kent Papers at Yale University. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Progressivism: A Very Short Introduction
Author: Walter NugentPublisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199746559
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 161
Book Description
After decades of conservative dominance, the election of Barack Obama may signal the beginning of a new progressive era. But what exactly is progressivism? What role has it played in the political, social, and economic history of America? This very timely Very Short Introduction offers an engaging overview of progressivism in America--its origins, guiding principles, major leaders and major accomplishments. A many-sided reform movement that lasted from the late 1890s until the early 1920s, progressivism emerged as a response to the excesses of the Gilded Age, an era that plunged working Americans into poverty while a new class of ostentatious millionaires built huge mansions and flaunted their wealth. As capitalism ran unchecked and more and more economic power was concentrated in fewer and fewer hands, a sense of social crisis was pervasive. Progressive national leaders like William Jennings Bryan, Theodore Roosevelt, Robert M. La Follette, and Woodrow Wilson, as well as muckraking journalists like Lincoln Steffens and Ida Tarbell, and social workers like Jane Addams and Lillian Wald answered the growing call for change. They fought for worker's compensation, child labor laws, minimum wage and maximum hours legislation; they enacted anti-trust laws, improved living conditions in urban slums, instituted the graduated income tax, won women the right to vote, and laid the groundwork for Roosevelt's New Deal. Nugent shows that the progressives--with the glaring exception of race relations--shared a common conviction that society should be fair to all its members and that governments had a responsibility to see that fairness prevailed. Offering a succinct history of the broad reform movement that upset a stagnant conservative orthodoxy, this Very Short Introduction reveals many parallels, even lessons, highly appropriate to our own time. About the Series: Combining authority with wit, accessibility, and style, Very Short Introductions offer an introduction to some of life's most interesting topics. Written by experts for the newcomer, they demonstrate the finest contemporary thinking about the central problems and issues in hundreds of key topics, from philosophy to Freud, quantum theory to Islam.
