This abridged edition of Lincoln Steffens’ autobiography offers a unique window into the life and times of one of America’s most influential muckraking journalists. Steffens, a pioneer of investigative reporting, exposed corruption in politics and business at the turn of the 20th century. His autobiography, first published in 1931, provides a firsthand account of his experiences uncovering the harsh realities of urban life and political machines. This teacher’s edition, with an introduction by William Cunningham, would have been a valuable resource for educators seeking to engage students with Steffens’ powerful writing and the Progressive Era reforms it helped inspire. Though lacking a dust jacket, this 1937 Harcourt, Brace and Co. copy remains in acceptable condition, with clean pages and a secure binding, allowing readers to immerse themselves in Steffens’ influential work and the pivotal period it chronicles.
