Seward: Lincolns' Indispensable Man; Secretary of State
A member of Lincoln's Team of Rivals
William Henry Seward was a remarkable man about whom you will only know by reading a biography such as this on by Walter Stahr. In his time, Seward was one of the best known political men of his time. Do you know much about him? Why did he never become President? Why did he purchase Russian-America, now Alaska?
What was Seward the first to do that Hillary Clinton, as Secretary of State, took to new heights?
The image is of my copy of the book. I have been anxious to read it. Let's get it underway! ;-)
