"I want to talk for a few minutes with the people of the United
States...." Thus began not only the first of Franklin Roosevelt's
celebrated radio addresses, collectively called Fireside Chats, but
also the birth of the media era of the rhetorical presidency.
Humorist Will Rogers later said that the president took "such a dry
subject as banking and made everyone understand it, even the
bankers." Roosevelt also took a giant step toward restoring
confidence in the nation's banks and, eventually, in its economy.
Amos Kiewe tells the story of the First Fireside Chat, the context
in which it was constructed, the events leading to the radio
address, and the impact it had on the American people and the
nation's economy. Roosevelt told America, "The success of our whole
national program depends, of course, on the cooperation of the
public--on its intelligent support and its use of a reliable
system." Kiewe succinctly demonstrates how the rhetoric of the
soon-to-be-famous First Fireside Chat laid the groundwork for that
support and the recovery of American capitalism.
