Navigating the report,
Part One:
The Contents
pages (click here) consist of three lists: Contents
(the governors arranged chronologically); Alphabetical
List of Essays; and List of Illustrations.
Each governor's name in both the "Contents"
and the "Alphabetical List" is linked to his biographical
essay; just click on the name to go to the biography.
The last page of a governor's biographical essay is
linked back to the contents pages; just click on it.
Likewise, for a portrait of a governor,
click on his name in the "List of Illustrations." (Use
your browser's Back button to return from the portraits.)
The only exception is the portrait of Woodrow Wilson
which is the frontispiece of the book; to view it, click
on the title of the book in the first paragraph above.
Please note that in the original book the portraits,
except for the frontispiece, were published in very
low contrast. These digital images are as close as we
could get to the published portraits.
Navigating the report,
Part Two:
You can also go directly
to the different parts of the book, including any individual
governor's essay, by clicking on one of the following
