| Summary | "Under Four Administrations: From Cleveland to Taft" by Oscar S. Straus is an autobiographical account written in the early 20th century. The narrative reflects upon the author's experiences and observations during a significant period in American history, spanning the presidencies from Grover Cleveland to William Howard Taft. With a focus on personal recollections, it explores his interactions with prominent political figures, diplomats, and everyday citizens while touching on themes of public service and societal change. The opening of the memoir introduces Oscar S. Straus in a reflective tone, as he shares his thoughts about peace and simplicity while staying in a log cabin in Maine. He highlights his memories of childhood and the values of honesty and fair dealing that shaped his upbringing. He sets the scene for the recounting of his life experiences, mentioning significant relationships with six U.S. Presidents and various influential personalities in both America and abroad. This initial portion establishes Straus's inclination towards democracy and personal integrity, foreshadowing his discussions of vital affairs and interactions throughout the decades he will cover.
