Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memorial Sketch of Lafayette S. Foster, LL. D : United States Senator From Connecticut, and Acting Vice-President of the United States An exhaustive memoir of the late Senator Foster would properly include a detail of the secret history of the war for the Union, or at least a review of its leading events, with an analysis of the political occurrences which preceded it. Mr. Foster was so intimately connected with the administration of President Lincoln, that the story of his life would involve a narration of the history of the country during those stirring and eventful years. The statesmen who were most competent to detail the events of that period of the national administration and Mr. Foster´s participation in it have, most of them, like the subject of our sketch, gone to their rest. The record has in a great degree perished with them. Mr. Foster was on many occasions in his later life urged to commit to manuscript his recollections of those days. He replied that he had thought at times of doing so, but that he had been prevented by too engrossing occupation with public business during those years when the details were most vivid to his recollection. He never afterward found the opportunity to write these chapters of his experience; and the country has occasion to regret it, as a valuable leaf in her history is thus forever lost. The record of Mr. Foster´s beautiful private and social life is also necessarily imperfect. Personal recollections of his geniality and wit are as evanescent as the occasions which called them forth. His personal and social qualities will remain with all who knew him intimately among their sweetest memories, but the complete record can only be found written in the hearts of those who loved him.
