The First New Dealer, William Goebel: His Origin, Ambitions, Achievements, His Assassination, Loss To The State And Nation; The Story Of A Great Crime is a non-fiction book written by Urey Woodson. The book tells the story of William Goebel, a Kentucky politician who was the first governor in the United States to be assassinated while in office. Goebel was a progressive Democrat who championed the rights of workers and farmers, and his assassination in 1900 was a major blow to the progressive movement in Kentucky and the nation as a whole.The book explores Goebel's background, his rise to power, and his political achievements, including his role in the creation of the Kentucky Democratic Party and his efforts to reform the state's election laws. It also delves into the circumstances surrounding Goebel's assassination, including the bitter political rivalry between Goebel and his Republican opponent, and the corruption and violence that plagued Kentucky politics at the time.Woodson's book is a meticulously researched and detailed account of Goebel's life and death, and it sheds light on a little-known chapter in American political history. It is a compelling read for anyone interested in the history of the progressive movement, the politics of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, or the darker side of American democracy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
