In a career that has spanned fifty years and taken him from one of the greatest movies of all time to some of television's best series, Emmy-award winning character actor William Windom takes you behind the scenes of show business from Broadway to Hollywood in his candid and witty autobiography. Shortly after returning from active duty in World War II, Windom entered the acting world, launching his career in parts on and off Broadway in the late 1940s and 1950s. With refreshing candor, he tells how he landed his first Hollywood role as the winning attorney against Gregory Peck in 1962's "To Kill a Mockingbird" and then went on to act in popular television series including "Columbo," "Star Trek," "All In the Family," and "Dallas," But perhaps his most enjoyable roles came from his regular appearances on "The Farmer's Daughter,," and as Doc Hazlitt in the popular "Murder, She Wrote," Through Windom's personal anecdotes, Hollywood aficionados can get up close and personal with some of the industry's biggest names, including John Wayne, Sam Goldwyn, and Angela Lansbury, and aspiring performers can glean wisdom on choosing agents and managers, working with directors, and performing an audition by following Windom's expert and time-tested advice. Humorous, honest, and endlessly entertaining, "Journeyman Actor" delivers an intimate glimpse into the career of one of Hollywood's most successful character actors.

This is the first book devoted exclusively to the political career of William Windom. It illuminates not only the personal biography of Windom, arguably Minnesota's most influential political figure of the 19th century, but it also casts much light on the differences between the Democratic and Republican parties during the period 1860-1890. Salisbury offers evidence which refutes the traditional view of the Gilded Age that Republicans were the party of big business, characterized by a mediocrity of leadership and permeated by corruption and venality. Rather, Windom and a majority of both parties maintained a consistent stance throughout this period on such questions as the desirability of governmental intervention in the economy, the regulation of private behavior by governmental coercion, and attitudes toward the nation's number of groups which were discriminated against, including women and blacks. An intensive analysis of William Windom's political career - he served in the U.S. House of Representatives for ten years, in the U.S. Senate for twelve years, and was twice appointed Secretary of the Treasury - reveals the post-Civil War era to hold several more nuances than contemporary beliefs allow. Salisbury offers important observations about the essence of both parties and the general political mood of the 19th century.

This is the seventh volume of Dr. Justin Glenn’s comprehensive history that traces the “Presidential line” of the Washingtons. Volume one began with the immigrant John Washington, who settled in Westmoreland Co., Va., in 1657, married Anne Pope, and became the great-grandfather of President George Washington. It continued the record of their descendants for a total of seven generations. Volume two highlighted notable members of the next eight generations, including such luminaries as General George S. Patton, the author Shelby Foote, and the actor Lee Marvin. Volume three traced the ancestry of the early Virginia members of this “Presidential Branch” back to the royalty and nobility of England and continental Europe. Volumes four, five, and six treated respectively generations eight, nine, and ten. Volume Seven presents generation eleven, comprising more than 10,000 descendants of the immigrant John Washington. Although structured in a genealogical format for the sake of clarity, this is no bare bones genealogy but a true family history with over 1,200 detailed biographical narratives. These strive to convey the greatness of the family that produced not only The Father of His Country but many others, great and humble, who struggled to build that country. Volume Seven, Part One covers the descendants of the immigrant’s children Lawrence and John Washington, Jr. Volume Seven, Part Two covers the descendants of the immigrant’s child Anne (Washington) Wright.
