Daniel Webster by Henry Cabot Lodge is a biography of one of the most prominent American statesmen of the 19th century. Daniel Webster was a lawyer, politician, and orator who served in the United States House of Representatives, the Senate, and as Secretary of State under three different presidents. He was known for his powerful speeches and his defense of the Constitution and the Union during a time of great political upheaval.Lodge's biography traces Webster's life from his childhood in New Hampshire to his rise to national prominence in the early 1800s. The book explores Webster's legal career, his role in shaping American foreign policy, and his famous debates with political rivals such as John C. Calhoun and Henry Clay. It also delves into Webster's personal life, including his relationships with his family and his struggles with alcoholism.Throughout the book, Lodge portrays Webster as a complex and sometimes contradictory figure, whose political beliefs and personal flaws often came into conflict. Despite his flaws, however, Webster remains a towering figure in American history, and Lodge's biography offers a fascinating glimpse into the life of this influential statesman.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
