MCCLURE’S

“Having conceived the idea of investigating and describing from an unbiased standpoint the dangerous tendencies in American life,” says the Norfolk Dispatch, “Mr. McClure enlisted the service of an editorial staff consisting of Ida M. Tarbell, probably the most talented woman writer of history that this country has produced; of Ray Stannard Baker, whose reputation for the clear and popular presentation of difficult topics of a scientific and abstract nature is world-wide; and of Lincoln Steffens, a man who stands at the head either of the class of literary men who possess a nose for news or of newspaper men who have a turn for literature.”
