Woodrow Wilson and His Work: By Willilam E. Dodd. E-book. Formato PDF William Edward Dodd   -  Forgotten Books, 2017  - 

The career of President Wilson and his services to his country and to mankind in general are so well defined and fairly rounded out that historians may not long postpone their estimates of both the man and his work. The fears of some that early appraisals may not accord with the final verdict of history are not well. Grounded. The final verdict has not yet been pronounced upon Julius Caesar, and each generation of American scholars forms anew its opinion of outstanding figures like Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln. Jefferson, whom half of articulate America jeered at during his last year in the presidency, was a political saint to Abraham Lincoln; and Lincoln, whom nearly all the leaders of both great political parties of July and August, 1864, urged to retire in humiliation from his second candidacy for the presidency, was and is a political saint to Woodrow Wilson. Violent attack and virulent abuse are not the criteria of his tory. They but call attention sharply to the one attacked or abused, and create the presumption that something real is being done or attempted.
