Born into a poor Ohio farm family in 1884, Clarence C. Dill immigrated as a young man to Spokane, Washington. There, despite being a virtual stranger, a political newcomer, and a Democrat in a Republican stronghold, he won election as Washington's Fifth District Representative to Congress. Reelected in 1916 as a Woodrow Wilson progressive, Dill opposed American entry into World War I. Voters promptly removed him from office in 1918--his political career apparently ended.But in 1922, Dill upset popular Republican Senator Miles Poindexter. In the Senate, he championed regulatory control of radio broadcasting and led Congress in drafting the Radio Act of 1927 and the Federal Communications Act of 1934. At the same time, Dill was befriended by Franklin Roosevelt, becoming one of the President's early Senate allies. Dill effectively lobbied Roosevelt to authorize the Grand Coulee Dam on the Columbia River.Just as mysteriously as when he first entered politics, Dill retired in 1934 at the height of his prestige. This first-ever biography reveals Dill's deserved place as one of the Northwest's most influential political leaders.
"A finger smashed in a car door and a missed geology examination at the University of Utah led Wallace Stegner to a special assignment about Clarence E. Dutton, thence to John Wesley Powell, and finally in 1954 to publication of what is arguably the single best nonfiction book dealing with the American West. "Beyond the Hundredth Meridian" remains in print fifty-two years after its initial appearance. Not many books have survived that length of time and thrived, despite competing works on the same subject. This combination of biography, history, and environmental primer written with the flair and the technical skill of a novelist who could masterfully evoke scenes and sustain a gripping factual narrative sprang from "Clarence Edward Dutton: An Appraisal." Seldom has such a classic book had such a humble beginning. Stegner was a young English instructor at the University of Utah when he produced the Dutton essay. He was ambitious and desperate for recognition, a raise (he was earning $1,700 a year), and steady employment in the Depression years. The essay contains hints, in terms of style and content, of what Stegner would eventually produce. "Dutton" was Stegner s first published work of nonfiction, and it is fair to say that it lead him, in conjunction with Bernard DeVoto s prodding, to the subject of conservation." from the foreword "Clarence Edward Dutton: An Appraisal" was first published by the University of Utah in 1936 and has since become a rarity on the antiquarian book market. It is reproduced in facsimile for this edition."

In this illuminating and comprehensive account, Talbot C. Imlay chronicles the life of Clarence Streit and his Atlantic federal union movement in the Unites States during and following the Second World War. The first book to detail Streit's life, work and significance, it reveals the importance of public political cultures in shaping US foreign relations. In 1939, Streit published Union Now which proposed a federation of the North Atlantic democracies modelled on the US Constitution. The buzz created led Streit to leave his position at The New York Times and devote himself to promoting the union. Over the next quarter of a century, Streit worked to promote a new public political culture, employing a variety of strategies to gain visibility and political legitimacy for his project and for federalist frameworks. In doing so, Streit helped shape wartime debates on the nature of the post-war international order and of transatlantic relations.
