About This Item
University Park, PA: Pennsylvania State University Press, 1996. Softcover. VG (slight crease in spine and minor shelf wear). Green wraps with bw photo and white lettering on cover and spine, xxii, 277 pp., few bw illustrations. "In many ways, Henry W. Shoemaker (1880-1958) embodies the spirit of the Progressive movement in America. A prominent reformist newspaper publisher in Pennsylvania, he used his wealth and position inherited from industrialism to promote the preservation of America's wilderness and native cultures ... For this book, the first full-length biography of Shoemaker, Simon Bronner has located never-before-available private papers and interviewed many people who knew Shoemaker. Included are rare photographs and a sampler of Shoemaker stories. Bronner shows that Shoemaker deserves attention in any assessment of public history, conservation history, and Progressive Era politics." - from back of book.
