2015.4.248Description
Rhetorical historian Harpine attempts to "show that both McKinley and Bryan presented oral rhetoric of power, ingenuity, and interest. In the end, the public speaking of these candidates stands up for itself. The candidates' oratory possibly had its greatest influence in the press reports of the campaign, rather than thhrough the responses of the live audiences, but the oral quality of the events emerged all the same." the author also attwmpts to determine why this campaign is still very important today.
Paperback. Front cover features a sepia-toned photograph of McKinley dellivering a speech during his Front Porch Campaign. The back features a brief synopsis of the book, along with a brief review, and the author's biography.Collection
