Excerpt from History of the Progressive Party, 1912-1916 As a glance at the footnotes for the Biographical Introduction will indicate, the great bulk of my information comes from two sources manuscript material and the personal recollections of people who knew Amos Pinchot. My most important source has been the Amos Pinchot Papers, which are in the Manuscripts Division of the Library of Congress, Washington, DC. Here are deposited carbon copies of his letters, letters to him, drafts of books and articles, memoranda, rough notes, and most of his published material. Second in impor tance for my purposes have been the Gifford Pinchot Papers, that huge repository of material that is also in the Library of Congress. In addition, I have used the lane Addams Papers, the Ray Stannard Baker Papers, the Albert J. Beveridge Papers, the Harold L. Ickes Papers, the Theodore Roosevelt Papers, the Woodrow Wilson Papers, the William Allen White Papers, and the Robert Woolley Papers, all at the Library of Congress. I have also used the William Kent Papers at Yale University. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
