Title: The Salmon P. Chase Papers. Volume 4. Correspondence, April 1863 to 1864
Summary: This volume collects correspondence written and received by Salmon P. Chase during a pivotal 15-month period of the American Civil War, from April 1863 through 1864, while he was U.S. Secretary of the Treasury and shortly before his appointment as Chief Justice of the United States.
This volume is valuable to historians and scholars because it:
Offers primary documentation of Civil War-era policymaking at the highest level of government, particularly in finance and Republican politics.
Sheds light on Chase’s evolving political identity, his frustrations within the Lincoln administration, and his manoeuvrings toward a potential presidential role.
Brings together not just public policy letters but correspondence revealing the personal dimensions of a major figure in 19th century American history.
