U S Envoy to Spain Bow ers Trained by Press
Claude Bowers, U S ambassador to Franco Spain, built a writing career by weaving American history into editorials for the New York World. He studied old newspapers at the library each day, thumbed through sources, and carried a sandwich to his desk. Born in Westfield Indiana, he grew up in Indianapolis and shifted from Republican to Democrat after reading Hamilton and Jefferson.

Jefferson in Power and the Bowers Book Preview
A review notes a forthcoming Houghton Mifflin work titled Jefferson in Power, detailing its focus on Jefferson’s eight years as President and final Monticello years. It contrasts Bowers’s research habits, footnote influence, and political oratory roots with his nostalgiac newspaper-work past. It also touches on a Connecticut deer protection note.
