Trade Review
Charles Carver here tells a tragic story that makes you swell at the majesty of man's mind and shrink at his rotten vanity. * Houston Post *
[Carver] ... tells, tersely and fairly, the story of the brilliant and rambunctious William Cowper Brann, the hot-eyed itinerant newspaperman who settled down in Waco, Texas, in the 1890's and made a spectacular frontal assault upon what he conceived to be the idiocies and hypocrisies of his time ... * New York Herald Tribune Books *
