Louis T. McFadden: Canton, Pennsylvania’s Bad Boy of the Republican Party

Louis T. McFadden was Canton, Pennsylvania’s home-grown Congressman who represented Bradford County and northeastern Pennsylvania for 20 years in the U.S. House of Representatives and was one of America’s most controversial politicians in the first half of the 20th century. He tried to impeach President Herbert Hoover and fought tough election battles against Cornelia Pinchot, the wife of Pennsylvania Governor Gifford Pinchot. Adolf Hitler praised his anti-Semitic remarks and conspiracy theorists are still writing about him today. But McFadden also made positive accomplishments and his opinions about the Federal Reserve are still considered relevant today.
