Book Synopsis Governor William E. Glasscock and Progressive Politics in West Virginia by : Gary Jackson Tucker
Book excerpt: "Governor William E. Glasscock and Progressive Politics in West Virginia recounts the life and work of West Virginia's thirteenth governor. Born during the Civil War, Glasscock witnessed a country torn by sectional, fratricidal war become a powerful industrial nation by the turn of the twentieth century. Author Gary Jackson Tucker demonstrates how Glasscock, along with others during the Progressive Era, railed against large and powerful political and economic machines to enact legislation protecting free and fair elections, just taxation, regulation of public utilities, and workmen's compensation laws." -- Book Jacket.
