Description



Book Synopsis



Lover's of Ohio history and presidential history will love this exploration of William H. Taft, one of Cincinnati's favorite sons.

Most Americans know that William Howard Taft was president of the United States and chief justice of the Supreme Court. But his life and legacy contain much beyond that, especially in his hometown.

He fought to put crooks away in court, and he fought for ethics and integrity. He made judgements that made him unpopular. Beyond the law, he and his wife, Nellie, were influential in the city's arts and culture, including the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. For all of this and more, he is remembered today as one of the Queen City's greatest citizens.

After years studying Taft's career in Cincinnati, Brian Planitz brings to life Taft's time in his birthplace and how it shaped his later career in Washington, D.C., and around the world.
