Gar Travis writes: "I have picked up a very interesting hard
cover book, copyright 1895, a privately printed 1st edition of
"Silver and Gold or Both Sides of the Shield, with portraits
(photographs) of leading Statesmen and Economists". It was
edited by Trumbull White (1868-1941), author of "The World's
Columbian Exposition, " War in the East," "Pictorial History of
Our War with Spain for Cuba's Freedom", "In the Shadow of
Death: Martinique and the World's Great Disasters", "Our New
Possessions", "Through Darkest America", "Complete Story
of the San Francisco Horror: Scenes of Death and Terror;
also Eruption of Mt. Vesuvius and More Disasters; San
Francisco Earthquake of 1906", etc.The book is explained on the leading page as: A symposium of
the views of all parties on the Currency Question as expressed
by their leading advocates. Thoroughly expounding the doctrines
of Free Silver, mono-metalism and bi-metalism, with all the
arguments, pro. and con. From the Pens of John Sherman, Wm.
B. Allison, John G. Carlisle, Edward Atkinson, Wm. M. Stewart,
W.J. Bryan, Wm. A. Peffer, Wm. H. Harvey, Benj. R. Tillman,
and others.Trumbull White was the first editor of Redbook Magazine,
founded in 1903, given that name because White said "red
is the color of happiness". He was editor of Ridgeway's
"Everybody's Magazine" beginning with the October 1911
issue in 1914 he was managing editor after which he
departed the magazine. While a journalist, he was the first
to advise the young Ernest Hemingway that the best writing
comes from personal experience and during the Spanish
American War he was a well known correspondent,
popular author and historian.The book apparently was reprinted in 2001 "by" John
Sherman and "edited" by Trumbull White
