"Keeping Track Of What Happened"
A History of the early years
of the 20th century
by Harold Gauer
This book is part of a sixty year journal of events starting in the bottom of the "Great Depression" of the 1930s and three
decades following, with two hundred digitized photographs, about interesting people of those times. The author modestly
includes himself as well as Robert Bloch, the author of Alfred Hitchcock's world famous movie "Psycho."
It is about an heroic mayor, a political nobody who was created with show biz campaigning and his tragic demise. It is about
the rise and fall of Senator Joe McCarthy who terrorized and "investigated" people for a decade without finding any
"communists" or "pinkos" and the efforts to unseat him.
