PRINTER'S DEVIL TO PUBLISHER
Adolph S. Ochs of The New York Times
Doris Faber -- Introduction by Arthur Ochs Sulzberger

Published as part of the Times's centennial celebration, and written by a former Times reporter, this is the dramatic and little-known story of how a struggling young man from Tennessee bought the nearly bankrupt New York Times in 1896 and transformed it into the best and most powerful newspaper in the world. A lively, readable biography of a barefoot boy who rose through the ranks of the newspaper business--from printer's errand boy, to printer, to publisher of a small Tennesee daily, to a position of enormous power and influence, competing with the likes of Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst, and consorting with presidents. With an introduction by Arthur Ochs Sulzberger, current chairman of The New York Times and grandson of Adolph Ochs.

In this volume Steven Hoare has compiled a wonderful history of the 20th-century women of a little-known region of America. Each woman comes alive in her own voice, complete with her own view of life as well as of quilting. --From the Introduction by Carter Houck, longtime quilt magazine editor and author of numerous books on quiltmaking.
