| Description: |
In a lively study of the people who covered Congress in the 19th and early 20th centuries, Donald Ritchie profiles many writers who, like Greeley, found the Washington scene alluring and disorienting. Despite adversarial rhetoric and mutual suspicion, close personal relationships have long flourished between members of Congress and the press. |
| Synopsis: |
'Press Gallery' examines the lives of Greeley, Horace White, Ben Perley Poore, Emily Briggs, Jane Grey Swisshelm, James G. Blaine, and others who were positioned in the hub of government when the Civil War, the purchase of Alaska, the Credit Mobilier scandal, and the Johnson impeachment hearings were making front-page news. |
