About this book

William Allen White (1868-1944) was a renowned American newspaper editor. He attended the College of Emporia and University of Kansas and in 1892 started work at the Kansas City Star as an editorial writer. White purchased his hometown newspaper, The Emporia Gazette in 1895. At the beginning of World War II he was asked by Franklin Roosevelt to help educate the public to generate support for the Allies. White was fundamental in the formation of the Committee to Defend America by Aiding the Allies, which was sometimes known as the "White Committee." He won a 1923 Pulitzer Prize for his editorial To an Anxious Friend, published in 1922. His works include: The Real Issue: A Book of Kansas Stories (1896), The Court of Boyville (1899), Stratagems and Spoils (1901), A Certain Rich Man (1909), The Old Order Changeth (1910), God's Puppets (1916), In the Heart of a Fool (1918), The Martial Adventures of Henry and Me (1918), Woodrow Wilson (1924), Masks in a Pageant (1928) and Forty Years on Main Street (1937).
