The Young Man and the World (Dodo Press)

Albert Jeremiah Beveridge (1862-1927) was a historian and United States Senator from Indiana. He was born in Ohio, admitted to the Indiana bar in 1887 and practiced law in Indianapolis. He graduated from Indiana Asbury University in 1885, with a Ph. B. degree. He was a member of Delta Kappa Epsilon fraternity. He was known as a compelling orator, delivering speeches supporting territorial expansion by the U. S. and increasing the power of the federal government. In 1899, Beveridge was elected to the U. S. Senate as a Republican and served until 1911. He supported Theodore Roosevelt's progressive views and was the keynote speaker at the new Progressive Party convention which nominated Roosevelt for U. S. President in 1912. As his political career drew to a close, Beveridge dedicated his time to writing historical literature. He was a member and secretary of the American Historical Association (AHA). His four-volume set The Life of John Marshall, published from 1916 to 1919, won Beveridge a Pulitzer Prize. He also wrote two volumes on Abraham Lincoln which were published in 1928.
