EDITORS COMMENTS
The Hoosier Don Quixote: Vice President Charles W. Fairbanks' Crusade for Progress (May 24, 1905) In this illustration from Puck Magazine, Vice President Charles W. Fairbanks is depicted as the iconic literary figure, Don Quixote. Seated in a worn, wooden chair, Fairbanks, dressed in the traditional knightly attire, holds a sword aloft in his right hand, ready to charge against the windmills of social ills. With a determined look in his eyes, he is engrossed in a book, symbolizing his unwavering commitment to the betterment of society. Surrounding Fairbanks, a whimsical array of former and current presidents, as well as various social issues, appear as windmills in the distance. These windmills represent the challenges that Fairbanks, as a modern-day Don Quixote, aims to correct. The image is a testament to his unyielding spirit and his belief in the power of positive change. The illustration, published in Puck Magazine on May 24, 1905, captures the essence of Fairbanks' political persona. A native of Indiana, he was affectionately referred to as the 'Hoosier' Don Quixote, reflecting his humble beginnings and his unwavering dedication to the pursuit of justice and progress. This enchanting image serves as a reminder of the enduring power of literature, the importance of perseverance, and the indomitable human spirit.
