Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Quarterly Publication of the Historical and Philosophical Society of Ohio, Vol. 10: Selections From the Follett Papers, III In this issue of the Quarterly is given the third selection of letters from the Oran Follett Manuscript Collection, belonging to the Society. The first selection may be found in Vol. V, No. 2, of the publication; the second in Vol. IX, No. 3. These letters, so far as published, relate largely to the political situation in New York and Ohio during the years, 1830-1847, and are written by active participants in the struggle for the ascendency of anti-slavery principles. The letters of the Honorable Joshua Reed Giddings, addressed to Oran Follett, 1843-1847, form the nucleus of this number. While the predominating subject of these is the politics of Ohio, particularly the movements of the Whig party, there are various descriptions of the disturbed condition of the House of Representatives and many suggestive comments upon the actions of his associates that add to their interest. No effort has been made to supply a historical setting to these, hitherto, unpublished letters, or to insert lengthy annotations regarding the prominent participants, of whom much has been written by historians and biographers. To those active supporters of the anti-slavery movement, of minor importance in that political arena, whose names appear herein, slightly more extended notes are deemed desirable as few references to them are found elsewhere.
