This volume has grown out of the biographer’s intimate acquaintance and immense admiration for a man who during fifty years and more of the past century helped to make the history of our nation. Chapters on his education and early battle with poverty, association with Greeley on the New York Tribune, his telling service to the Federal government during the civil war have been written from letters, documents and clippings bearing upon public and private life.
