1866 CONFEDERATE 1st ed Alexander H Stephens Letters Speeches CSA Civil War
“Alexander H. Stephens, in Public and Private. With Letters and Speeches, Before, During, and Since the War” is a comprehensive exploration of the life and times of Alexander Hamilton Stephens, the first and only Vice President of the Confederate States and later the 50th Governor of Georgia. Crafted meticulously by Henry Cleveland, this work grants the readers an intimate glimpse into the public and private aspects of Stephens’s life, drawing from his letters, speeches, and other significant documents which Cleveland was privileged to access due to his close friendship with Stephens. Spanning across decades, this book captures Stephens’s influence and involvement in key historical events from the pre, during, and post-Civil War era in America. It highlights his complex political trajectory, from his early career as a Southern Whig and advocate for the Compromise of 1850 to his eventual alignment with the Democratic Party, and further, his rise as the Vice President of the Confederacy. Cleveland’s narrative acknowledges Stephens’s significant role in the Confederate’s Cornerstone Speech and his critical standpoints on President Jefferson Davis’s policies during the war.
While the primary focus lies in Stephens’s political and public life, Cleveland also sheds light on his personal experiences, revealing a unique portrait of a man who played a pivotal role in America’s history, for better or worse. Notably, this fascinating historical work is illustrated with four engravings and includes four facsimile lithographs of letters from Stephens.
