- The Letters of Junius and Other Biases; 1992
- Description
- Robert Wimer presents a biographical Sketch of Carter Glass (1858-1946) of Lynchburg. The owner of Lynchburg’s newspapers, Glass also spent 44 years in Washington D.C. Glass was known for “ferociously assailing his opponents,” and he always put personal convictions above party loyalty. After covering a wide range of contributions (for better and worse) that Glass made, Wimer explains the times that Glass lived in and then discusses his racism and lack of willingness to compromise.
