Overview"Winston Churchill was only 20 when he met the man whom he credited, more than any other, with shaping him as a statesman and an orator. As Churchill wrote: ""I regard his as the biggest and most original mind I have ever met. When I was a young man, he instantly gained my confidence and I feel that I owe the best things in my life to him."" That man was Bourke Cockran, a charismatic Irish-born Democratic Congressman from New York City, acclaimed by his peers as the greatest orator in the Gilded Age of politics. Following the death of Winston's father, Lord Randolph in 1895, Cockran who as a widower, became the lover of Churchill's mother, the beautiful American-born heiress Jennie Jerome, who persuaded Cockran to take her son under his wing."
