I Would Live It Again: Memories of a Vivid Life (SIGNED COPY)
by: Foraker, Julia B. (Mrs. Joseph Benson Foraker)

Hardcover. NY, Harper & Brothers, 1st, 1932, Book: Good, Dust Jacket: None, Hardcover, terra-cotta cloth stamped in black and gilt, 351 pages. SIGNED BY AUTHOR on the half-title page. Foraker's husband, Joseph Benson Foraker, served as both Governor of Ohio and a U.S. Senator from The Buckeye State. His wife presided over their homes -a hostess in the vortex of wealth and power. Graceful, forth-right, and sensible, her book throws many illuminating rays of light on the events of the 80s, 90s, and the early 1900s, and on the people behind the events, including two chapters on the Brownsville affair, in which President Roosevelt discharged without honor a battalion of negro soldiers for allegedly shooting up the town of Brownsville, Texas. Includes interesting recollections of Mark Hanna's rise to power, the Brownsville incident, and the McKinley and Roosevelt administrations. Shelfworn, faded spine.
