博客來A detailed account of the public career of John Albion Andrew (1818-1867), the influential governor of Massachusetts during the American Civil War. This biographical sketch, published shortly after his death, chronicles Andrew’s rise to prominence as a lawyer and anti-slavery activist, his crucial role in preparing Massachusetts for war, and his leadership throughout the conflict.
The book highlights Andrew’s efforts to recruit and equip soldiers, including the pioneering 54th Massachusetts Infantry, one of the first African American regiments in the Union Army. It also examines his post-war advocacy for Reconstruction and civil rights. This is a valuable resource for understanding the political and social landscape of the Civil War era and the life of a key figure in Massachusetts history.
