  • Description

    ?From James Patron?s 1855 Life of Horace Greeley through Greeley?s 1868 autobiography Recollections of a Busy Life, and down to the present, dozens of voices have told the story and legend of Horace Greeley. ?The Wall Street Journal “Williams gives a straightforward account . Succeeds in portraying [Greeley] as a leading figure in the struggle to define freedom ‘as a universal good better than the liberty that tolerated slavery.’ ” ?The New York Times “A comprehensive biography of Greeley (1811?72), deftly analyzing the price he paid to brook no intrusion, partisan or otherwise, on his principles. ?New York Sun ?Through research involving many new primary sources, Williams opens our eyes to many unknown or unappreciated facets of this fearless editor and political strategist, as well as his influence over Abraham Lincoln, William Seward, and reforms of society of all types?.[E]ssential for those wanting to understand the social and political climate in the United States during the time between what some have called the two American revolutions ? Ritchie, author of Reporting from Washington: The History of the Washington Press Corps “Williams describes the Civil War editor and politician Horace Greeley as a ‘great mind and heart.’ I agree. Horace Greeley is as rigorous and vast as Greeley himself, and as America itself in the long nineteenth century. In the first comprehensive biography of Greeley to be published in nearly half a century, Williams captures Greeley from all sides: editor, reformer, political candidate, eccentric, and trans-Atlantic public intellectual; (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)

Salmon P. Chase : A Biography

  • Salmon P. Chase : A Biography

  • Attribution

    John Niven

  • Publication Details

    Book, Oxford University Press, 1995

  • Description

    Twice elected United States Senator, twice chosen governor of Ohio (then the third most populous state in the Union), Chase organized the widespread but diffuse anti-slavery movement into a workable political organization, the Free Soil party (whose slogan “Free Soil, Free Labor, Freemen” Chase coined himself). We read of Chase’s work in Lincoln’s war cabinet and his tenure as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, and we also follow his many political maneuvers, his attempts to undercut rivals, and his poorly run campaigns for presidential nominations. Niven also provides an intimate portrait of Chase’s family life–his loss of three wives and four of his six children, and the unfortunate marriage of his beautiful daughter Kate to a rich but dissolute man–and a vivid picture of life at mid-century.
