“Daniel Webster is just beginning to be appreciated for what he really
was—the greatest American statesman. His whole life was a battle for
the Union. He did more than any other one man for its preservation, and
his reward was insults and curses. But time rights all things and it
will right this wrong.”
This volume traces the statesman’s career through all its vicissitudes
showing what relation each and every act bore to his symmetrical life
as a whole.
