In addition, his family and personal life are highlighted. Easy-to-read text details McKinley's military service in the Twenty-third Ohio Volunteer Infantry and the Battle of Antietam during the American Civil War and his political career as prosecuting attorney of Stark Country, Ohio, a congressman in the U.S. House of Representatives, where he supported the Pendleton Civil Service Act and the Dependent Pension Act, sponsored the McKinley Tariff Act, and served on the Committee on Revision of the Laws and as chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, and governor of Ohio.
