Mark Sullivan [1874-1952] was among the most widely respected journalists of his day. One of the original muckrakers, he became America's leading political reporter and columnist for nearly fifty years. A committed Republican, he had unequaled access to his party's leaders, including Presidents Roosevelt, Taft and Harding. Between 1926 and 1935 Sullivan wrote a major work of popular history, "Our Times", a six volume work covering the period 1900-1925 when, as he saw it, America emerged onto the world stage, triumphing in the Great War and then retreating into the materialism and self-absorption of the Twenties. Probably no other nonfiction series ever sold so well and was so widely read and acclaimed or had such a lasting reputation for excellence. [Information from Dan Rather, American Heritage, May/June 1996. Rather condensed Sullivan's "Our Times" into a new one-volume edition]. Good .
