I actually liked Prof. Bailey's autobiography! It's a very quick read, and it puts the audience in the POV of what was going on in his life as he was writing his various textbooks and tradebooks! If you like his writing style in "The American Pageant" or his Woodrow Wilson books, you won't be disappointed. I'm glad I was able to find this at my local library!
