The Inventory of the Edward C. Stone Collection #920 The Inventory of the Edward C. Stone Collection #920 Howard Gotlieb Archival Research Center The Inventory ofthe Edward Carleton Stone: Senate Papers Collection Howard Gotlieb Archival Research Center Boston University Edward Carleton Stone-Bio: Edward C. Stone was raised a native of Lexington, MA., graduated Magna Cum Laude from B.U. Law school in 1900. This sharp-witted and curious man quickly became one of the best trial lawyers in the state. After a tem1 in the State House of Representatives (1903-1904) Stone moved on to a new career in the insurance business. Stone's time as a trial lawyer representing insurance companies led to his appointment by London's Employers Liability Assurance Company to the post of U.S. Manager and Attorney. It was in this capacity that he formed two other companies- the American Employers Insurance Company, and the Employers Fire Insurance Company. Both companies became known as "The Employers Group." A passionate, life long student, Stone wished to promote education through Boston University. On June 5, 1941 Edward Stone joined the B.U. Board of Trustees. Five months later, he was named to the Trustees' Executive Board. Stone's passion for the nation's Founding Fathers and our 16th President had helped shape his career and life. He wished to give something back to the University and in 1947 Edward Stone made his first donation of over 1100 volumes of Lincoln Scholarship. By donating his extensive libra1y, he hoped to assist Boston University students in gaining a greater education of the world and supply them with a source for scholarship through the life of "Honest Abe." After his initial donation, Stone continued to add to the collection for the rest of his life. Today, the Stone Collection boasts over 1200 volumes of Lincoln scholarship covering every aspect of his life, career, and influence. These sources range from privately printed pamphlets to foreign publications of plays and scholarly works. The Stone manuscript collection is equally as impressive with the signatures of eveiy signer of the Declaration oflndependence and Presidents from George Washington to Warren Harding. Stone also amassed numerous letters by or regarding Abraham Lincoln that shine a light on the minute details and progress of Lincoln's administration. In 1948, Stone was still serving the University on the Executive Board when he was elected to the State Senate for the Cape and Plymouth District. This segment of the Stone collection features the political papers, con-espondence, notes, and printed materials regarding the various committees on which he served. These materials make an interesting study describing the politics and culture of the 1950's. Retiring from this post, he became Chairman for the Board of Trustees; a position he held for 8 years. Finally retiring in 1961, Stone was given an Honormy Chairmanship for the rest of his days. Edward Carleton Stone died June, 1964. Stone, Edward C. Senate Papers The portion of this collection was formerly composed of Senate and House bills; the decision was made to dispose of these, as they can be found in nearly any university or large city library. The resultant collection consists of correspondence and printed material regarding a variety of subjects. Mainly: the bills which were a concern of the various committees upon which Edward Stone sat while serving in the Senate. There is also material regarding Stone's research of Abraham Lincoln, particularly the Bixby letter, and a few personal, though business-related, items, such as bank statements. The material in this collection is more interesting as a study of the politics and society of the times than it is as a delineation of Stone's person and character.

Treason on Trial: The United States v. Jefferson Davis. Baton Rouge: Louisiana State University Press, 2019. 376 pp. $55.00 (cloth),ISBN 978-0-8071-7080-9. Reviewed by Heather C. Walser (The Pennsylvania State University) Published on H-Nationalism (March, 2021) Commissioned by Evan C. Rothera (University of Arkansas - Fort Smith) Printable Version: https://www.h-net.org/reviews/showpdf.php?id=56425 In Treason on Trial: The United States v. Jefferson Davis, Robert Icenhauer-Ramirez explores why the United States failed to prosecute Jefferson Davis for treason in the years following the US Civil War. When federal troops arrested the former Confederate president outside of Irwinville, Georgia, in the early morning hours of May 10, 1865, few questioned whether Davis would face treason charges. Considering Davis’s role as the leader of the Confederacy, accusations about his involvement in the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, and President Andrew Johnson’s well-known stance regarding the need to make treason “odious,” prosecution of Davis seemed inevitable. But as Icenhauer-Ramirez skillfully demonstrates, any efforts to successfully try Davis for treason hinged on the capabilities and willingness of multiple individuals involved in the prosecution. According toTreason on Trial, the inability of the prosecution to determine when and where Davis should be tried, the reluctance of Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase to actively participate in the case in his role as judge, and the skillful use of the countless delays by Davis’s attorneys and wife crippled the prosecution and resulted in Davis’s release from federal custody in December 1868 as a free, and fully pardoned, man.
