Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. First Printing [Stated]. xii, 420 pages. Endpaper map. Genealogies. Illustrations. Index. Alfred Mitchell Bingham, a well-born, well-heeled radical who made a broken field run through 20th century intellectual history, coming of age as a rock-ribbed Republican in the 1920's, veering left in the 1930's as a leader of the quest for an American-style collectivism, then returning to the capitalist fold in the 1940's as a straight-ticket Democrat. He was an author and founder of the journal Common Sense and had written extensively about once burning social, political and economic issues. Bingham's father, Hiram Bingham III, was a successful explorer and politician who discovered the Inca ruins of Machu Picchu and was elected U.S. Senator from Connecticut. But his transformation from a struggling student to a man of wealth - dependent on his Tiffany mother-in-law - put pressures on him that he escaped by carrying on a clandestine affair with a congressman's wife. Eventually, he abandoned his wife and seven grown sons. What compelled Charles Tiffany to amass a great personal fortune as founder of Tiffany & Co., and what drove Hiram Bingham to disdain wealth and live a life of personal sacrifice in order to save souls as a missionary to Hawaii? How did Charles Tiffany's heirs use their great wealth and privilege - and with what results? And how did Bingham's obsession to improve the world manifest itself in four generations of his family? These questions are at the heart of this epic family biography that covers nearly two centuries. The story is told by Alfred Bingham, great-grandson of both millionaire Charles Tiffany and missionary Hiram Bingham. His life reflects the conflicting influences of his two forebears' legacy to him. As heir to the Tiffany fortune, he attended Groton, Yale, and was raised in palatial homes built by his family, surrounded by many servants and governesses. But Alfred Bingham developed a social conscience that moved him to found the radical political magazine Common Sense.…

Pencil erasure residue on fep. The author was an author and founder of the journal Common Sense had written extensively about once burning social, political and economic issues. He was a son of Hiram Bingham 3rd, an explorer and historian who discovered the Incan ruins at Machu Picchu in Peru, taught Latin American history at Yale, then entered Connecticut Republican politics with such a flourish that within one 24-hour period in 1925 he served as Lieutenant Governor and Governor and began an eight-year stint as a United States Senator. In 1981, he began spending much of his time at her home in Clinton while continuing his writing, including a 1989 biography of his father. Derived from a review posted on-line: It was Hiram Bingham who put the last Inca capital on the map and who gave it back to the world. The book, goes to great lengths to describe the job he did. Hiram Bingham made his first South American expedition, repeating across Venezuela and Colombia the route of Bolivar's liberating army (1821). In 1907 he carried out his second South American expedition. It was then that he became convinced that "the last Inca capital" remained to be discovered. This led to his 1911 expedition to Peru. Bingham undertook yet two more trips to Peru. In 1912 he did discover, or uncover, Machu Picchu and in 1914-15, more ruins. Of the 27 chapters that form the book, twelve deal directly with the Andes and the rest, with travels elsewhere as well as with the life of Bingham himself. A number of photos complement the text. The text is complemented by quotations from Bingham's writings and from his personal letters, by adequate maps and, above all, by photos taken by the explorer himself.
