""Salmon Portland Chase"" is a biographical account of the life of one of America's most prominent political figures in the mid-19th century. Written by historian Albert Bushnell Hart, the book chronicles the rise of Salmon P. Chase from his humble beginnings in New Hampshire to his eventual role as Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court. The book explores Chase's early career as a lawyer and politician, including his involvement in the abolitionist movement and his tenure as governor of Ohio during the Civil War. It also delves into his time as Secretary of the Treasury under President Abraham Lincoln, where he played a key role in financing the Union war effort. Hart's biography provides insight into Chase's complex personality and his relationships with other notable figures of the time, such as Lincoln and William Seward. The book also sheds light on Chase's unsuccessful bid for the presidency in 1860 and his subsequent role as a member of the Radical Republicans in Congress. Overall, ""Salmon Portland Chase"" offers a comprehensive look at the life and legacy of a man who played a significant role in shaping American history during a tumultuous period of the nation's development.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
