A propos de cet article

Original brown cloth binding with gilt lettering on spine. Spine ends are crushed and boards are scuffed and lightly spotted. Water-staining to bottom corners at hinges, most evident on front and rear pastedown and flyleaf, less evident on interior pages. Frontispiece depicting the residence of Henry Wilson in Natick, Massachusetts is damaged by staining, but retains its protective tissue. Interior pages are strongly tanned and somewhat brittle, but without marking. This book contains 22 chapters on the life and work of Henry Wilson. Wilson was born Jeremiah Jones Colbath (1812-1875), and became the 18th vice president of the United States, serving from 1873 until his death in 1875, and before that, a senator from Massachusetts from 1855 to 1873. Before and during the American Civil War he was a strong opponent of slavery. Wilson worked diligently to build an anti-slavery coalition, which came to include the Free Soil Party, anti-slavery Democrats, New York Barnburners, the Liberty Party, anti-slavery members of the Know Nothings, and anti-slavery Whigs. When the Free Soil party dissolved in the mid-1850s, Wilson joined the Republican Party, which he helped found, and which was organized largely in line with the anti-slavery coalition he had nurtured in the 1840s and 1850s. Wilson successfully authored bills that outlawed slavery in Washington, D.C., and incorporated African Americans in the Union Civil War effort in 1862. After the Civil War, he supported the Radical Republican program for Reconstruction. In 1872, Wilson was elected vice president as the running mate of Ulysses S. Grant, the incumbent president of the United States, who was running for a second term. The Grant and Wilson ticket was successful, and Wilson served as vice president from March 4, 1873, until his death on November 22, 1875. Elias Nason (1811-1887) was a Massachusetts Congregational clergyman, educator, editor and author. Hardcover, acceptable condition. 452 pages plus publisher's list, 12mo.…
