Lincoln Steffens

0/5 ( ratings)

Rediscover a man Americans turned to not only for news but for humor & wisdom. Growing up in Sacramento, Steffens was an editor at the NY Evening Post, later at McClure?s Magazine. As popular as he was cantankerous, he brushed shoulders with presidents & corporate barons, tsars & dictators. His efforts to expose corruption took him all over the nation & on to Mexico, Europe & the new USSR, where he made his famous proclamation, ?I have seen the future, & it works!? He would later become disenchanted with Soviet communism, & eventually he returned to California, to feel again its ?warm, colorful force of beauty? & to write what would become this best-selling memoir.
