William McKinley Biography: The Tariff President brings to life the story of the 25th President of the United States—a man whose presidency marked the dawn of the American century.
From his roots in small-town Ohio to the bloody battlefields of the Civil War, McKinley’s rise to power was shaped by discipline, patriotism, and political savvy.
