1908. American author, Adams was a reporter for the New York Sun,
who at the urging of his friend Ray Stannard Baker, joined
McClure's Magazine, where he gained a reputation as a muckraker for
his articles on the conditions of public health in the United
States. Adams also wrote a series of articles for Collier's Weekly,
in which he exposed patent medicines; these pieces were credited
with influencing the passage of the first Pure Food and Drugs Act.
A prolific writer, Adams produced both fiction and nonfiction. His
best-known novel, Revelry, was based on the scandals of the Harding
administration. The Flying Death begins: Stanley Richard Colton,
M.D., heaved his powerful form to and fro in his bed and cursed the
day he had come to Montauk Point, which chanced to be the day just
ended. All the world had been open to him, and his father's yacht
to bear him to whatsoever corner thereof he might elect, in search
of that which, once forfeited, no mere millions may buy back, the
knack of peaceful sleep. But his wise old family physician had
prescribed the tip-end of Long Island. See other titles by this
author available from Kessinger Publishing.
