My Memories of Eighty Years Chauncey M Depew 9781117459509 Books

Mr. Depew writes in the time of Lincoln and Daniel Webster. The long debates and hard travels of those running for office are a foreshadowing of the elections of today.

My Memories of Eighty Years Chauncey M Depew 9781117459509 Books Reviews


My great uncle actually wrote this book. I highly reccomend this book to anyone interested in politics or American history. He rubbed shoulders with the wealthy vanderbilts, and made many government decisions. Truly an inside look at an influential person.
This 1924 book is not an autobiography. The author does not mention his first wife who died in 1893 at all and does not name his second wife, whom he married in 1900. I learned about his marriages from reading the article on him in the Encyclopedia
Americana, not from reading the book. DePew's fame came from his speeches and his political activity. In 1910 he published his addresses and orations in 8 volumes! The book is not modest about its author and sounds like one would expect a garrulous man in his eighties who is used to being deferred to would sound, telling what a great guy he is and what great people he has known (every President from Lincoln to Coolidge!). The book was written before Harding died and DePew says Harding is "developing the highest qualities of leadership." This quote illustrates a flaw in the book he usually only tells us good things about people he knew, tho he must have known interesting unfavorable things about many of the people he talks about. All in all, I enjoyed reading this book by a man who was a household name in his lifetime but I suppose is unknown to most people today. I found the book in a college library. (I like college libraries--they don't weed out old books as public libraries too often do.)
I expected a more detailed description of Chauncey Depew as a corporate executive and director of corporations. The biography gives more emphasis to his political career and to the opinion of the many remarkable acquaintances he came across to in his life.
Mr. Depew writes in the time of Lincoln and Daniel Webster. The long debates and hard travels of those running for office are a foreshadowing of the elections of today.
