Evarts, who is considered one of the greatest attorneys the country has known, was a New Englander who spent most of his active life in New York and Washington. He was a charter member of the Republican party, a supporter of Lincoln, secretary of state, United States senator, and the defender of many historical decisions. To read his life is to read history in the making. Originally published in 1941.
