Doris Kearns Goodwin Quote

With McClure’s support, Steffens embarked on an odyssey. For the better part of three years, he called on people in St. Louis, Minneapolis, Pittsburgh, Chicago, Philadelphia, New York, Cleveland, and Madison. My business is to find subjects and writers, to educate myself in the way the world is wagging, so as to bring the magazine up to date, he explained to his father. I feel ready to do something really fine.
