Hearst Acquired The Reputation Of Being The Most Expert Prospector And Judge Of Mining Property On The Pacific Coast. He Contributed To The Development Of The Modern Processes Of Quartz And OtherVague Kinds Of Mining. George Hearst Acquired The San Francisco Examiner Newspaper As A Sign Of Loyalty To His Friends By Accepting It As Payment For A Gambling Debt Owed To Him. He Primarily Used The Examiner To Promote The Interests Of The Democratic Party And To Laud The Party's Initiatives Especially When They Were Under Public Attack. After Settling In San Francisco In The Early 1860S Hearst Became A Politician First Representing San Francisco In The State Legislature For One Term. He Also Maintained Mining Interests Through His Company. Hearst Was Appointed As A United States Senator In 1886 To Fill A Vacancy And Was Elected As A Democrat Later That Year On His Own Account.

His Only Child From His Late Marriage At Age 40 Was His Son William Randolph Hearst Who Became Internationally Known As A Newspaperman And Publisher And Was A Primary Inspiration For Orson Welles' 1941 Film Citizen Kane. As Quoted In The Book On His Vote In The Senate "If People Can't Afford To Buy Butter Let Them Buy Oleomargarine". His Lifelong Focus On The Physical Basis Of Money Silver And Gold Rather Than The Manufacture Of Useful Items And His Lifelong Concern With Politicking Made Him One Of The Most Successful Admired And Richest Americans And Financed The Career Of His Son William Randolph Hearst Producer Of The Worthless Imperialist And Sometimes Successfully War-Mongering New York Journalism Of His Son Who Is Also Not Known To Have Ever Produced Anything Original And Of Value. <br/> <br/> John Henry Nash 1928, 1933 hardcover
