Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, a biography, tells the story of Thomas Hart Benton, an American politician who served as a Democratic Senator from Missouri for thirty years from 1821 to 1851, remaining outstanding among the statesmen of his era and surpassing many of his contemporaries in terms of accomplishment and achievement. Benton was a strong advocate of westward expansion for the United States, and he is best known for his role in securing the passage of legislation that established the borders of the Oregon Territory, which would become an important part of the country, as well as securing passage of the legislation that established the specie standard for the nation's currency. Also included are chapters discussing such topics as Benton's youth, education, early political interests in Missouri, how Benton entered the Senate where he found his place as the Senator from Missouri, and his friendships and personal characteristics. The concluding chapter asserts that Benton was both an effective orator and an influential author, and that he remains a significant figure in the history of the United States.
