| Abstract
|
:
|
"Antebellum politician Henry Stuart Foote (1804-1880) was among the most vocal, well-travelled, and controversial statesmen of the nineteenth century. Although largely forgotten today, as historian Ben Wynne reveals in his comprehensive biography, Foote was a key player in a remarkable array of the era's most important events"--
