| Summary, etc. |
"From these pages emerges a portrait of Steffens the man which is as meaningful as his accomplishments as reporter and reformer: a bold and humane pilgrim who so loved his countrymen that he was never able to condemn them; and who after forty years of knowing the worst of everybody and everything ended his career as he began it - with an unclouded mind, still ready to believe." - From book jacket. |

| Summary, etc. |
"Lincoln Steffens, in full Joseph Lincoln Steffens, was an American journalist, lecturer, and political philosopher, and a leading figure among the writers whom U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt called muckrakers. In 1901, after becoming managing editor of McClure’s Magazine, he began to publish the influential articles later collected as The Shame of the Cities (1904), a work closer to a documented sociological case study than to a sensational journalistic exposé. The Mexican Revolution (1910–20) and the Russian Revolution of 1917 turned Steffens’s attention from reform to revolution, and he supported many communist activities but refused identification with any party or doctrine." - Britannica.com.<br/> |
