Author Description

Excerpt from Woodrow Wilson the Story of His Life <p>The zeal, the disinterestedness, and the abilities with which you have supported the great principles of our revolution, the persecutions you have suffered, and the firmness and independence with which you have suffered them, constitute too strong a claim on the good wishes of every friend of elective government, to be effaced by a solitary case of difference in Opinion. <p>William Duane never got any political reward, but his son was made Secretary of the Treasury by President Jackson. He served only a few months, refusing to obey Jackson's order to remove the Government deposits from the United States Bank without authority of Congress. <p>About the Publisher <p>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
