I SPEAK FOR THADDEUS STEVENS

by Elsie Singmaster ‧ RELEASE DATE: May 22, 1947

Highly interpretive biography of a proud, absolute, honest fighter, an American statesman who knew poverty and hardships, but who learned the quality of defending his beliefs. From Vermont, to Dartmouth, to Gettysburg and Laucaster -- fighting for his ideals; then to Washington where as Congressman he fought for emancipation. After the Civil War he was hated for his radical reconstruction program -- he fought President Johnson- he died, his fight unfinished. A very adult biography, in selection of episodes and characters, in narrative quality.
