Howe And American Liberalism","description":"A native Pennsylvanian, born in Meadville in 1867 and a graduate of Allegheny College, Frederic Howe dedicated his life early on to the cause of improving society and played a major role in many movements for progressive change from the early 1890s to the Second World War\u0026amp;—the period that Richard Hofstadter famously dubbed the \u0026amp;“age of reform.\u0026amp;” Howe was a fighter against corruption and political bosses in Cleveland; a leader in Progressive politics in New York City; a spokesman for reform through numerous books and articles and as director of the Cooper Union\u0026amp;’s People\u0026amp;’s Institute; an ardent campaigner for \u0026amp;“Fighting Bob\u0026amp;” La Follette, Woodrow Wilson, Al Smith, and Franklin D. Roosevelt; a defender of immigrants and civil liberties as commissioner of immigration for the Port of New York during the First World War; and an advocate for consumers as the first consumers counsel in the New Deal. Kenneth Miller\u0026amp;’s biography takes the reader behind the scenes and shows how \u0026amp;“the great game of politics\u0026amp;” was played in the age of reform.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eKenneth E.
