McKinley was a local citizen, and we've seen dozens of these books over the years: one of a class of books tossed together by newspapermen after a landmark event to satisfy the public's need to know.
1901. Superbly illustrated with numerous engravings made from original photographs. The true story of the assassination, in the shadow of death, passing away, funeral ceremonies; together with his ancestry, boyhood, student days, his career as soldier, lawyer, statesman, governor, and president, the principles for which he stood and the triumphs he achieved, and his home life. Anarchy, its history influences and dangers with a sketch of the assassin. Written by Halstead, who had the personal acquaintance, friendship and confidence of William McKinley.
