Memoirs of Stanton’s Right Hand Thug
In stock
Description
This was a popular memoir of the commander of the National Police, and also Edwin Stanton’s right-hand-thug.
Sometimes Baker’s actions as a secret service agent were helpful, but many times were despotic. Baker was a ubiquitous presence in Washington during the war. The book contains material on counter-espionage activities as well as much on the pursuit and killing of Booth.
Lightly sunned spine; lightly rubbed and bumped; light foxing and dampstaining, especially on end pages; else very good. Gilt titling on spine intact!
