       index. 
520    Illuminates the achievements of the nineteenth-century 
       historian, writer, and intellectual, discussing Adams's 
       relationships with political leaders inside and outside of
       his family and his witness to the dawn of modern America. 
520    "Henry Adams is perhaps the most eclectic, accomplished, 
       and important American writer of his time. His 
       autobiography and modern classic The Education of Henry 
       Adams was widely considered one of the best English-
       language nonfiction books of the 20th century. The last 
       member of his distinguished family--after great-
       grandfather John Adams, and grandfather John Quincy Adams-
       -to gain national attention, he is remembered today as an 
       historian, a political commentator, and a memoirist.  Now,
       historian David Brown sheds light on the brilliant yet 
       under-celebrated life of this major American intellectual.
       Adams not only lived through the Civil War and the 
       Industrial Revolution but he met Abraham Lincoln, bowed 
       before Queen Victoria, and counted powerful figures, 
       including Secretary of State John Hay, Senator Henry Cabot
       Lodge, and President Theodore Roosevelt as friends and 
       neighbors. His observations of these men and their 
       policies in his private letters provide a penetrating 
       assessment of Gilded Age America on the cusp of the modern
       era." -- Inside front jacket flap.
