As the biggest Sam Rayburn fan, I feel obliged to let anyone reading this to check out the Hardemon/Bacon biography of the longest ever Speaker from Texas. It really adds beautiful color to the Speakership during the New Deal, WWII, and pre-Kennedy periods - especially in the famous final fight with Rules Chairman Smith.
