Description: "This lively study of the newspaper career of Wilbur F. Storey spotlights one of the most bizarre and raucous chapters in the history of American journalism. Who else in the history of American journalism could boast of suppression by the U.S. Army on charges of treason, a public horse-whipping by a burlesque dance troupe, and the creation of a special school for female typesetters in order to beat the Typographical Union."--Book review
