ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
I am indebted to, and want to thank, those who offered me recollections and insights concerning Woodrow Wilson and the people close to him. Those who knew the President include Mrs. Eleanor Wilson McAdoo, Francis B. Sayre, David Lawrence, Mrs. J. Borden Harriman and Henry P. Thomas.
Others giving generous aid include Cary T. Grayson, Jr., Joseph P. Tumulty, Jr., Alden Hatch, and Miss Katherine Brand, who before her retirement was in charge of the Woodrow Wilson Collection of the Library of Congress.
I was extremely fortunate to have steady access to two scholars active in the Wilson field for many years: Drs. John Wells Davidson and David W. Hirst of The Papers of Woodrow Wilson sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson Foundation and Princeton University.
The staff of the Manuscripts Division of the Library of Congress was courtesy itself. I must particularly single out two gentlemen whose interest and assistance made my months in the Library more fruitful than they otherwise might have been. They are Roger Preston and Joseph Sullivan.
I must also express my thanks that there exist the New York Public Library, the Butler Library of Columbia University, and the Ferguson Library of Stamford, Connecticut.
About the Author
Gene Smith (1929–2012) was an acclaimed historian and biographer and the author of When the Cheering Stopped: The Last Years of Woodrow Wilson (1964), a poignant portrait of the president’s final months in the White House that spent fifteen weeks on the New York Times bestseller list. Born in Manhattan and educated at the University of Wisconsin, Smith was drafted into the army and served in Germany in the early 1950s. He began his career at Newsweek and reported for the Newark Star-Ledger and the New York Post before leaving journalism to write full-time. His popular biographies include The Shattered Dream: Herbert Hoover and the Great Depression (1970), Lee and Grant: A Dual Biography (1984), and American Gothic: The Story of America’s Legendary Theatrical Family—Junius, Edwin, and John Wilkes Booth (1992). For many years, Smith and his wife and daughter lived in a house built by a Revolutionary War veteran in Pine Plains, New York, and raised thoroughbred horses.
