He's describing his mentor here.
He was my chief.
We often traveled together, yet in all that time, I never saw him pass an idle moment, either in the office or on the road or anywhere else.
Pulitzer's ambition did not go unnoticed.
There never seemed to be any doubt in his mind that he would succeed in something.
And so here's a description of Joseph Pulitzer as a young reporter.
He wandered around St.
Louis at all hours, visiting schools and public institutions, attending public meetings and ward meetings, knocking on doors of lawyers and politicians, and opening those doors that didn't yield to a knock.
His thirst for news was unquenchable.
In addition to writing an endless stream of local news, Pulitzer wrote pithy, cogent stories on St.
Louis politics in an inimitable style that stood out from his competitors.
It was not an uncommon thing for him to use language in a heated controversial dispute that went far beyond the limit.
Again, this is people are seeing that he's got this hot, fiery temper.
I would describe his personality as aggressive, argumentative, very hot tempered.
And this is just a great sentence and a warning to what he's likely to encounter later in life from an older, wiser person.
He says, in fact, I cautioned him that he must become more conservative and forbearing for fear that he might someday meet a person like himself and then there would be trouble.
It's also important to note, think about the subtitle for this book.
It says A Life in Politics, Print, and Power.
So at this time, politics and journalism, there were two sides of the same coin.
So out of work politicians would become newspaper editors, and then newspaper editors would become elected politicians.
