Table of Contents
From the Book - [1st ed.].
Introduction
A fair prospect
Jacksonian reformer
On the way up
At the heights of the law
First blow for the Union
From critic to colleague
Secretary of War
Organizing victory
Failure and frustration
Relentlessly and without remorse
Discouraged but not despairing
My way is clear
War in good earnest
Trampled by the hoof of war
A tower of strength
His iron mask torn off
The misfortune of that station
Stanton's Lincoln
Sherman's truce
Justice
Discord
Decision
They must muster me out
Fruits into ashes
The root of bitterness
Off the sharp hooks of uncertainty
In suspense
No one will steal it now
Cling to the old "orifice"
Campaigning for great
The obsequies have been enlarged
Epilogue: A note on the history of Stanton biographies.
