	Lincoln Steffens Biography \| Encyclopedia of World Biography
		Lincoln Steffens (1866-1936) was the most famous of the American muckraker journalists of the period 1903-1910.
		Lincoln Steffens was born on April 6, 1866, in Sacramento, Calif. The son of a wealthy businessman, he went to an expensive military academy where he began showing signs of the rebelliousness that would eventually lead him to political radicalism.

	Introduction to Philadelphia: Corrupt and Contented
		Lincoln Steffens, an early twentieth century muckraking journalist, compiled a number of articles written for McClure's Magazine, and published his book, The Shame of the Cities, which exploited corruption in several of America's largest and most widely-known cities.
		Focusing on Philadelphia, which Steffens claims to be "corrupt and contented," as he titles the chapter about the city, the author also feels that the city was the purest (racially/ethnically) community of all, but at the same time, the most hopeless.
		Steffens exposes how even teachers and students are involved in the dishonest ways of those members of the powerful ring that runs Philadelphia.

		Steffens was born in the Mission district of San Francisco in 1866, the son of a prosperous banker.

	TIME.com: Man with the Rake -- Apr. 8, 1974 -- Page 1
		Lincoln Steffens appears at a time when the achievements of his particular brand of muckraking, like that of Ida Tarbell, Upton Sinclair and Ray Stannard Baker, are all but forgotten.
		Steffens belonged to what Kaplan calls "American grass-roots radicalism" which is marked by hunger for drastic solutions and "an inclination to spend their time and spirit cussing out the government and the bank while awaiting the arrival of the messiah." Steffens was inflamed by the redemptive possibilities of the Russian Revolution.
		Steffens' famous pronouncement, "I have seen the future and it works," came out of this trip—though, according to Bullitt, Steffens began honing the quote days before their train even reached the Russian frontier.

		Journalist Lincoln Steffens’s book The Shame of the Cities (1904) was an influential expose´, and Steffens was known as one of the leading muckrakers (investigative journalists) of the day.
		Steffens mixed a realistic description of events with the moral righteousness that the public cherished.

Steffens's writings contributed greatly to the progressive movement's partial success in improving municipal government.
