ABSTRACT
Professor Arthus S. Link of Princeton University has devoted some forty years to the study of Woodrow Wilson's life. Edwin A. Weinstein, James William Anderson, and Link disparage the author's research–Woodrow Wilson and Colonel House furnishes "'deep' interpretations of the work of others." Baker's commitment to seeking the truth about Wilson illuminates his correspondence, his journal, indeed the whole record of his prodigious work. This chapter considers the research upon which Woodrow Wilson and Colonel House was based was conscientious and that the data that have since become available, so far from confuting its interpretation, permit a richer documentation of its validity. Wilson, avid to equip himself for a job that would give him the wherewithal to marry, reluctantly embarked on the hateful "forced march" almost immediately after he had renounced it. To the Wilson girls recollections of their awe-inspiring grandfather must be added those of another of Dr. Wilson's grandchildren–his daughter Annie's son George Howe.
