1912. An influential military aide to President William Howard Taft and President Theodore Roosevelt, Archibald Butt is one of the most highly praised passenger-heroes of the Titanic tragedy. He ensured the safety and eventual rescue of countless people, but was himself lost as one of the victims of that disaster. Both Sides of the Shield begins: Mr. Palmer: You will start for the South tomorrow and write a series of letters on the educational and social conditions existing in that section. Avoid the cities and beaten tracks and let your pictures be drawn from life. This will be an order on the business office for what money you may need.
