Edwin M. Stanton

Focusing on Edwin M. Stanton's significant role as Secretary of War during the Civil War, Andrew Carnegie's speech commemorates Stanton's contributions to the Union's victory and his lasting impact on American history. Delivered on Stanton Memorial Day at Kenyon College in 1906, the address reflects on Stanton's life and the political climate of his era. This work serves as a valuable resource for those interested in Civil War history and the evolution of American society, while also preserving a culturally important piece of literature.
