This rare book contains the definitive biography of the great Herbert Hoover, originally published in 1920 by the accomplished writer Rose Wilder Lane and proudly republished here with the intention of immortalising this historically significant text. A tale more uncanny than fiction yet as real as America itself, this fascinating biography details the life of Herbert Hoover from his strange boyhood to his almost mythological success. Having been grown and moulded by the same forces that grew and moulded his great country, Herbert Hoover witnessed all the stages of the developments that created America and arguably epitomises in human form its history and ideals. Meticulously wrought from sources of indisputable authority and accounts by people personally acquainted with him from infancy, this unparalleled biography is a must-read for anyone interested in the life of this seminal man and is well deserving of a place atop any bookshelf. Rose Wilder Lane was a travel writer, journalist, novelist, and political theorist.
