The American (Hoosier) Bulldog
Poet, prophet and philosopher
Battling the sin of seriousness
The sage of Potato Hill
Hero in the trenches
Old borax
Best foot forward
The gentleman of the press in skirts
Cannonballing coast to coast
Byron of the Rockies
Spelunking and spirituality
The jewell of the Wabash
The Mississippi miracle man
Beauty for ashes
Swing into oblivion
Doughboys and other heroes
The sage of Fort Wayne
Finger lickin' recipe
Pioneer, showman, promoter
Politics and poetry
The reluctant empire builder
The reluctant general
Indelible diplomatic imprint.
