From the Publisher
With a keen sense of what they meant to America and brought uniquely to their times, Baker illuminates characters that we hardly know and several that we know all too well. However undeluded he remains by "our national engines of ballyhoo, bushwah, and baloney" and the foibles of the famous, he is also keenly aware of real accomplishment and genuine claims on our attention.
