Roger, This is interesting since Governor Andrew was known as one of the so called "Moral Whigs" of Massachusetts as opposed to the "Cotton Whigs" who were more mercantile in their political dealings. I have a copy of Higham's book but have only skimmed through it.

Craig

Hi Craig. It's amazing how many names Higham includes as being part of the cotton dealings in one way or another. Here are some of the other people Higham mentions: Judah Benjamin, Jacob Thompson, Clement Clay, Beverley Tucker, Orville Browning, Thurlow Weed, Leonard Swett, Lafayette Baker, Benjamin Butler, William Fessenden, William Orme, George Ashmun, George Sanders, Robert Coxe, Ward Hill Lamon, Preston Parr (saying Lewis Powell was his chief operative), William C. Durant, and Ward Hill Lamon's brother, Robert Lamon.

I was only very vaguely aware Ward Hill Lamon had a brother, and I don't believe I have ever seen a photo of him.
