His letters to Fanny Chapman, his secret love, leave a picture of an age of turmoil, corruption, social graces, and artistic explosion. It took a renaissance man like Carl Schurz to travel among the greats in the literary, artistic and political arenas with grace and judgement. The tragedy of his life, if there was one, is that he is nearly forgotten in the modern world in the face of revisionist history. He was a fighter for human rights including all races and creeds and a pioneer muckraker in a corrupt city of a \"Gilded Age\". Lost are his educational contributions, his unpopular and prophetic political stance for Civil Service reform and his fight against a trend toward national imperialism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lubrecht\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1669863387\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781669863380\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Xlibris Us\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/30\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 622\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.50d","brand":"Peter Lubrecht","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44132086087935,"sku":"9781669863380","price":56.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f845b9ce-bfd9-45b2-b6ac-cba8d84f3440.jpg?v=1687478134","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-statesman-and-the-socialite-peter-lubrecht-9781669863380","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
