George Helm

""George Helm"" by David Graham Phillips is a biographical novel that tells the story of George Helm, a young man from a small town in the Midwest who becomes a journalist in New York City. The book follows Helm's journey as he rises through the ranks of the newspaper industry and becomes a prominent figure in the world of journalism. Along the way, he encounters a cast of colorful characters, including his mentor, a hard-drinking editor named Jack Delaney, and a beautiful young woman named Alice who becomes his love interest. Helm's career takes him to Washington, D.C., where he becomes embroiled in the political machinations of the time, and ultimately to Europe, where he covers the outbreak of World War I. Through it all, Helm remains committed to his ideals of truth and justice, even as he faces personal and professional challenges that threaten to derail his career and his life. Phillips' vivid prose and detailed historical research bring to life the world of early 20th-century journalism and the larger political and social context in which it operated. ""George Helm"" is a gripping and insightful portrait of a remarkable man and a fascinating period in American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
