About this book

Commemorative Tribute to Barrett Wendell is a memorial address by James Ford Rhodes (1848-1927), the American businessman and Pulitzer Prize-winning historian who retired from the iron and coal trade at fifty to devote himself to historical writing. Rhodes produced the seven-volume History of the United States from the Compromise of 1850, one of the major late nineteenth-century narrative histories of the Civil War and Reconstruction era, and served as president of the American Historical Association. The tribute commemorates Barrett Wendell (1855-1921), the Harvard professor of English who was an influential teacher of American literature and the author of Literary History of America. Both men were senior figures of the Boston-Cambridge intellectual world of the early twentieth century. Free PDF download available on BDeBooks.
