This article focuses on the book "James C. Blame. A Political Idol of Other Days," by David Saville Muzzey. This is biography at its very best. Muzzey has given an admirably detached and generally judicious volume, he has plainly tried to make it entirely so. It is delightfully written and well documented. The narrative flows steadily on and is of absorbing interest. It is not too much interrupted by the necessary historical background, yet it is about the best compact history now extant of the United States during Blame's active life. Moreover, it fills a real need for an unbiased life of Blame. Muzzey's book will not be displaced for a long time, and it will be invaluable to every teacher of modern American history.
