Toward the Star-Eyed Goddess
Toward the Star-Eyed Goddess
This chapter discusses the events that shaped Henry Watterson's political outlook. Despite having only four years of schooling, he imbibed the politics of the late Jacksonian era; his grandfather had served under Andrew Jackson during the War of 1812. It was Henry's father, Harvey Watterson, who passed on his political sangfroid to his son. Thanks to Henry's impeccable political credentials and a remarkable set of connections, he was able to rise to political and journalistic prominence at a young age.
