A Man From Kansas: The Story of William Allen White is a biography written by David Hinshaw that tells the life story of William Allen White, a prominent journalist and political commentator from Emporia, Kansas. The book explores White's upbringing in a small Kansas town, his education at the University of Kansas, and his rise to fame as the editor of the Emporia Gazette. Hinshaw delves into White's political views and his outspoken criticism of government corruption and abuse of power. The book also details White's personal life, including his marriage to Sallie Lindsay and their children, as well as his friendships with notable figures such as President Theodore Roosevelt and author H.L. Mencken. Through extensive research and interviews with White's family and colleagues, Hinshaw provides a comprehensive account of White's impact on journalism and politics in the early 20th century. The book also sheds light on the challenges and struggles White faced as a public figure, including his battle with alcoholism and his efforts to balance his personal and professional life.
