Edward M. House, a man now almost completely forgotten, was one of the most important Americans of the twentieth century. Given the sorry state of historical knowledge in the United States (most high school seniors do not know that the War Between the States was fought sometime between 1850 and 1900 [Long 2008]), we cannot reasonably expect many people today to identify House, much less to know anything about him. I suspect that scarcely anyone except a smattering of history teachers and a few history mavens can accurately state why he was an important figure in U.S. history. Yet he arguably had a greater impact on the past century than all but a handful of other actors.
