American portraits, 1875-1900

the long version

“Contents: Mark Twain; Henry Adams; Sidney Lanier; James McNeill Whistler; James Gillespie Blaine; Grover Cleveland; Henry James; Joseph Jefferson. Mr. Bradford is a master in the new school of psychographic biography—that type of biography which pictures its subjects as vital and intensely human personalities reacting in a natural way to the conditions peculiar to their time and position. He writes gracefully and entertainingly, has sympathy and discrimination, and is unquestionably accurate.” – – A.L.A.Catalog 1926
