Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life and Times of Samuel J. Kirkwood, Iowa´s War Governor My acquaintance with Gov. Kirkwood commenced very soon after he came to the state, and it became somewhat intimate while he was serving his first term in the state senate, during the winters of 1856-7, and where I was acting in the capacity of reporter of proceedings for a local paper and correspondent for a Chicago Daily. During his whole residence in Iowa City I have been associated with him as a neighbor, and have served with him several years on our local school board. Since I have commenced writing his life he has submitted to me all of his correspondence, both public and private, needful for my use, and copies of all public documents in his possession, and he has submitted to frequent and oft repeated interviews during the progress of my work. In my labor I have been greatly aided by his faithful wife, who has from time to time during his official life, gathered from the public press and other sources and treasured them up, facts relating to him that otherwise would have been lost. Governor Boies has kindly permitted me the use of the Executive Records made during Governor Kirkwood´s gubernatorial administrations. The manuscript as it has been written from time to time has been submitted to him for his correction and approval.
