For Ulysses S. Grant has been in the news for the past month, sometimes in ways that typify the profound historical ignorance of precisely those people who claim that they possess some sort of expertise and historical insight into the American past. Take Charles Schumer, New York's senior United States senator, who moved that Ronald Reagan should displace Grant on the fifty dollar bill, because Grant was a butcher as a general and a stumbling ignoramus as president û perhaps next he'll propose bulldozing Grant's Tomb to provide a new stadium for the Yankees.

  • American Queen: the Rise and Fall of Kate Chase Sprague, Civil War "Belle of the North" and Gilded Age Woman of Scandal'
    H-War Cirillo on Oller, 'American Queen: The Rise and Fall of Kate Chase Sprague, Civil War "Belle of the North" and Gilded Age Woman of Scandal' Review published on Wednesday, January 13, 2016 John Oller. American Queen: The Rise and Fall of Kate Chase Sprague, Civil War "Belle of the North" and Gilded Age Woman of Scandal. Philadelphia: Da Capo Press, 2014. 416 pp. $25.99 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-306-82280-3. Reviewed by Frank Cirillo (University of Virginia)Published on H-War (January, 2016) Commissioned by Margaret Sankey Over the years, scholars have cast Kate Chase in a number of lights. Chase, the daughter of a prominent politician who became a Washington socialite and a politico in her own right during and after the Civil War, has been portrayed variously as a ruthless political operator, a hopeless romantic, and an empowered progressive. In American Queen, John Oller draws on an impressive array of manuscript sources to offer a well-rounded biography of the enigmatic figure. Oller presents Chase as a “woman ahead of her time”—a “calculating politician” who made her mark as a “behind-the-scenes orchestrator” (pp. xi, 264). At the same time, Oller humanizes his subject as a flawed individual “constrained by the choices she made,” especially regarding the unworthy men to whom she devoted her political talents (pp. 264-265).[1] In a novel contribution to the extant historiography, Oller stresses that “politics was personal” to Chase (p. 171). She put her stock in specific people, rather than in ideologies or policy positions.

  • A House Divided an Intimate Musical of the Lincoln Presidency Book, Music and Lyrics by Michael J. Salmanson Maureen Kane Berg
    A HOUSE DIVIDED AN INTIMATE MUSICAL OF THE LINCOLN PRESIDENCY BOOK, MUSIC AND LYRICS BY MICHAEL J. SALMANSON MAUREEN KANE BERG THOMAS C. BERG ©2016 THE CAST Abraham Lincoln (baritone) mid-50s. A native Kentuckian, failed one-term Congressman, ​ and unsuccessful candidate for the U.S. Senate, his gifted oratory propels him onto the national stage. At the Republican convention of 1860, he outmaneuvers far more well-known and powerful rivals to capture the nomination, and is elected President with only 40% of the popular vote. Mary Lincoln (mezzo soprano) mid 50's. A native southerner from a slaveholding ​ family, her brothers fought for the South; and therefore she was treated largely as an outcast by Washington’s elite. Acutely aware that she married beneath her station, she is an exceptionally fragile and lonely individual, and fiercely loyal to her husband. Having never fully recovered from the death of her second son, Eddie, the subsequent death of Willie leaves her emotionally devastated. Elizabeth Keckley (soprano) A freed black woman, she has the reputation as the finest ​ seamstress in Washington, and is quickly hired by Mary Lincoln. Separated from her husband when he was sold, and from her son, who is serving in the Union army, she and Mrs. Lincoln bond over their family tragedies, and she quickly becomes Mary Lincoln’s closest confidante and friend. Keckley as Character is referred to throughout at “KECKLEY.” Keckley/Narrator As an elderly woman, KECKLEY/NARRATOR reflects back on the events of the Lincoln White House in her unique role as participant, confidante and observer.

  • Alexander Long, Salmon P. Chase, and the Election of 1868 by EDWARD S
    Society Photo SALMON P. CHASE Did he, or did he not, scheme for the presidency in 1868? BULLETIN of The Cincinnati Historical Society January 1965 CINCINNATI Vol. 23 No. 1 Alexander Long, Salmon P. Chase, and The Election of 1868 by EDWARD S. PERZEL During the months preceding the presidential election of 1868, many efforts were made to draft Salmon P. Chase, Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, for the Democratic presidential nomination. A Supreme Court Justice becoming involved in current politics was, as it still is, contrary to tradition. Nevertheless, Salmon P. Chase was not an innocent bystander in contemporary political affairs. He was ready and willing to accept the nomination, and he had even urged certain people to further his cause. One of the most prominent Chase supporters, second only to Chase's ambitious daughter, Kate Sprague, was Alexander Long, a Cincinnati lawyer and politician. Long was no stranger to Chase. When Chase had lived in Cin- cinnati, he maintained a law office near Long's office on Third Street. More important is the fact that they had met in 1848 in the Ohio legislature. At this time, Long's political maneuvering had greatly aided in Chase's election as United States Senator from Ohio.1 JFor the story of the 1848 Senatorial election in Ohio, see Norton S.
