Description
The Biography of James G. Blaine is a comprehensive account of the life and career of one of America's most influential politicians. Written by acclaimed biographer Gail Hamilton, this book traces Blaine's rise from humble beginnings in Maine to his eventual prominence as a powerful figure in national politics. The son of a farmer, Blaine was a gifted student who went on to become a successful lawyer and journalist before entering public life. A member of the Republican Party, Blaine served in the U.S. House of Representatives, the U.S. Senate, and as Secretary of State under President Benjamin Harrison. Along the way, he played a key role in shaping American foreign policy, championing the cause of civil service reform, and advocating for the rights of African Americans. Hamilton's biography offers a vivid portrait of this fascinating figure, exploring his personal life, his political beliefs, and his enduring legacy. Drawing on a wealth of primary sources, including Blaine's own letters and speeches, as well as contemporary accounts and historical records, The Biography of James G. Blaine is a compelling and insightful look at one of America's most important political figures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
