The Late Speaker David B Henderson and His Early Speech
A portrait of David B. Henderson as he prepared for his first speakership. He wrote a concise two hundred to three hundred word draft, debated word choice with Senator Allison, memorized carefully, and faced stage fright yet managed to deliver a speech aligned with his prepared lines. His life’s path from debate societies to law study shaped his careful, precise oratorical style.
