Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from American Statesmen: Salmon Portland Chase The biographies of most of the American statesmen of the Civil War have been written by their contemporaries, who could supplement research by their own impressions and recollections. The work of preparing this volume and estimating the character and services of Salmon Portland Chase falls to one who never saw him; but though dependent upon written and printed materials and the reminiscences of others, I may perhaps claim some special interest in him as an exponent of that Western political anti-slavery movement which early stirred my blood through both heredity and training. The life of Mr. Chase has already been told in three published biographies. J. T. Trowbridge´s "The Ferry Boy and the Financier," although founded on valuable data furnished by Chase himself, a romantic tale and really intended as a campaign document. R. B. Warden´s long and elaborate "Life of Salmon P. Chase" is uncritical and unsatisfactory, and the mass of material which he had at his disposal was used neither with personal discrimination nor literary judgment.
