McKinley Assassination: A Documentary History of
William McKinley's
Assassination
http://mckinleydeath.com/about.htm
To some, President William McKinley may disappear into
the ranks of those
American presidents whose accomplishments are
little-known, if they are
known at all. Drawing on the work of recent scholars
(and their own keen
interest in McKinley), the creators of this website
seek to provide
information about McKinley (and his assassination,
obviously). In this
process, they have transcribed a host of important
resources, including
articles, essays, editorials, news columns, sermons,
and so on. These
resources serve both as a lens into McKinley's life as
well as American
history and culture. With a homepage that features a
crisp design, visitors
can look over such sections as "Quotes About",
"Documents", and "Resources".
For those uninitiated into the world of McKinley, the
"Quotes About" area is
a good place to begin. Here they will find quotes
about the man himself, his
assassin Leon Czolgosz, his successor Theodore
Roosevelt, and the
assassination. The "Documents" area is a section that
is well worth
visiting, as it contains a wide range of materials
related to McKinley's
assassination, and a number of pieces of reporting
from the time that are
quite valuable. Finally, the site also has a series of
indexes, which will
help users structure their time on the site in an
efficient manner. [KMG]
