Detroit Post and Tribune, Zachariah Chandler: An Outline Sketch of His Life and Public Services, 1st ed.

Description

The Detroit Post and Tribune produced the biography Zachariah Chandler: An Outline Sketch of His Life and Public Services shortly after his death in 1879. The book includes an introductory letter by James G. Blaine written in February of 1880, not long before that Senator’s surprising defeat for the Republican presidential nomination by Congressman James Garfield of Ohio.

A fascinating life of a Radical Republican by the journalists who wrote about him throughout his career.

Light shelf wear; light bump; else very good condition. An uncommonly well-preserved volume with wonderful Victorian designs on the boards. Gilt lettering on the boards and spine is still uncommonly bright.
