My name is Jack Stanley, I have studied history for many years. This blog is about history in a more raw view, not over done. I often use original materials to bring a historic event or story to life or an interview I may have done with the person mentioned. If you cook a vegetable too long it loses much. The same can be said of many histories. They are the history of the history written before it. Over done history. THIS IS HISTORY IN THE RAW. Comments send to phonograph78@hotmail.com

Political football 1900...The election that would change the United States
This is a wonderful cartoon from Life Magazine. It was published on October 25, 1900. It really was a special election. For McKinley of course would become the first 20th century President. Roosevelt would block everything Bryan tried in that election. As he traveled all over the country on McKinley's behalf. It was the near end of the road for Bryan. Although he would run one more time in 1908. He would start to look comical after his 1900 run.
