Excerpt from The Scotch Ancestors of William McKinley: President of the United States This line of descent down to and including number 22 is fully substantiated by the Scottish chronicles and histories of the Highland Clans. There are differences in the manuscript genealogies left by the old Sean-a-chaidh, or historians of the Clans which may never be definitely adjusted, but I have used only such statements as I believe can be substantiated by historical data. From number 22 to number 27, I have relied principally upon printed, written, and oral statements of members of the present "Clan MacKinlay" of the United States and Canada, some of whom have spent years ferreting out the Clan genealogy. From number 27 to President McKinley, I am especially indebted to Mr. E. W. Spangler for data from the records of York County, Pennsylvania, and to Judge John S. Goodwin, Historian of the Clan MacKinlay, for later data. Mr. Wm. E. W. MacKinlay, Assistant Historian of the Clan, has lent invaluable aid throughout the whole line. I would also acknowledge the courtesies extended by the efficient librarians of the Newberry Library and Chicago Public Library. Few people realize that Chicago is rapidly becoming the recognized library center of this continent. The New York Outlook says: "Chicago libraries are greater in extent and endowment than those of any other American city."

"In 1896 McKinley swept away all rivals to win the presidential nomination on the first ballot. Faced in the general election by the well-respected and highly touted orator William Jennings Bryan, Republicans adopted their "Front Porch Campaign." Thousands of citizens from across the country were brought to McKinley's home in Canton for a handshake and a few words. Hanna arranged for this $3.5 million campaign to be paid for by big business, with oil baron John D. Rockefeller writing the largest check. McKinley's military service and his support among veterans were significant factors in his campaign. He became the first presidential candidate in a generation to win a majority of the popular vote." "This extensively revised and expanded edition of H. Wayne Morgan's William McKinley and His America will be an important resource for historians and scholars."--BOOK JACKET.
