Autobiography, [191-].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/28492333

Typescript of a portion of the autobiography of Edward Stanwood, newspaper journalist, editor, and historian, made in 1935 by the staff of the Massachusetts Historical Society from the original manuscript. The autobiography probably dates from between 1912 and 1922 and describes his education; his career as a Boston newspaper reporter and editor, including his outspoken editorial stance against candidate and elected Mass. governor Benjamin F.
