Clemenceau is described as "Vigorous and intrepid, a man of quick rejoinders and piercing witicisms, an untiring walker in a New York without cables, an elegant horseman, a good fencer and marksman in times of enthusiastic 'Schuetzenfest'--he soon cut a figure in the haunts and headquarters of journalistic and artistic New York" (16-17).
Clemenceau claimed that America had "no general ideas and no good coffee" (17).
Mentions his marriage to Marry Plummer (25-26).
