That reminds me--
Some historian in the making will discover this half-century-old book one day, lean upon it for unique insights and commend it. It is worthy of commendation. Alben Barley's autobiography is delightful and often tickling. The man was a master of anecdotes. More importantly, he paints first-hand portraits and offers important background insights for Woodrow Wilson, FDR, Harry Truman, Adlai Stevenson. He offers unique and candid documentation of local politics and national Democratic politics through a large and important swath of the 20th Century. The man - the first U.S. vice president to play a significant role in an administration - was wise and indefatigable. He was not a log cabin president but he came close.--Amazon
