Charles Eugene Banks (1852 - 1932) was an American newspaper editor, journalist, author, historian, and orator. Banks' professional writing career began with submissions to a regionally distributed trade journal. He eventually found writing work in Chicago, where in 1892 he married actress Carrie Wyatt Lounsbury. Banks returned to Iowa with his wife and in Davenport he mentored several young writers known as the Davenport group: Susan Glaspell, George Cram Cook, and Floyd Dell. In 1932 he was struck by an automobile and died. Close personal friend Clarence Darrow delivered Banks' eulogy and served as executor of his estate. This popular biography appeared under several imprints and without an imprint. The first edition is published by Stone in Chicago in 1901, the subsequent editions show a (1901) date on the copyright page but were issued in 1902. Written to take advantage of the transition as TR is inaugurated as a result of the assassination of President McKinley. A superb political hagiography, published during TR''s presidential election campaign. It now appears rarely in bibliographies related to Theodore Roosevelt. Opie Percival Read (born December 22, 1852, Nashville Tennessee; d. November 2, 1939, Chicago Illinois) was an American journalist and humorist. His bibliography lists 60 published books. Grace Duffie Boylan (February 9, 1861 - March 24, 1935) was an American writer.
