Warren G. Harding: References & Edit History

Additional Reading

Samuel Hopkins Adams, Incredible Era: The Life and Times of Warren Gamaliel Harding (1939, reprinted 1979), although dated, remains a highly useful biography. More recent treatments are Andrew Sinclair, The Available Man (1976); Francis Russell, The Shadow of Blooming Grove (1988); and Robert K. Murray, The Harding Era (2000). Harding’s administration is assessed in Robert K. Murray, The Politics of Normalcy: Governmental Theory and Practice in the Harding-Coolidge Era (1973); Eugene P. Trani and David L. Wilson, The Presidency of Warren G. Harding (1977, reissued 1989); Charles L. Mee, Jr., The Ohio Gang (1981); John W. Dean, Warren G. Harding: The American Presidents Series: The 29th President, 1921–1923 (2004); and Rosemary Stevens, A Time of Scandal: Charles R. Forbes, Warren G. Harding, and the Making of the Veterans Bureau (2016). Richard G. Frederick (compiler), Warren G. Harding: A Bibliography (1993), contains over 3,000 annotated entries.
