About the Author: Harry L. Hopkins (1890–1946) was born in Sioux City, Iowa. He worked as a social worker in New York City until 1931 when Franklin D. Roosevelt, then governor of New York, selected him to lead the New York State Temporary Emergency Relief Administration. In 1933 President Roosevelt (served 1933–1945) brought Hopkins to Washington to run the recently created Federal Emergency Relief Administration (FERA). Compassionate, confident, and a superb administrator, Hopkins became one of Roosevelt's most important advisors.
