		Robert La Follette lived out the ancient Chinese blessing (or is it a curse?), "May you live in interesting times," beginning with his birth, on 14 June 1855, in the township of Primrose, Wisconsin, a state which only seven years before had graduated from territorial status.

He was never handicapped by shyness and claimed to have made his first public speech between the ages of three and four at an entertainment at the local schoolhouse.
