Biographical or Historical Sketch
Edward Mandell House was an independently wealthy Texan who became active in politics by advising Texas governors in the 1890s. He was an important part of Woodrow Wilson's presidential campaign in 1912. He became Wilson's most trusted advisor and designated representative, first to Congress, and then to the European powers after the outbreak of World War I. He helped outline several of Wilson's key policies, and was integral in preparing a peace treaty to end the war.
