What did you think?

I read this book and thought is was excellent. I was surprised that there was not much else (at leas recent) out there devoted to such an important person as Seward. I was thankful to find this book.

I had the opportunity to listen to Mr. Stahr speak at the 2013 Lincoln Forum. He was a very good speaker and gave an interesting talk. That evening I sat next to him at dinner, and in conversation he mentioned that he was working on his next project: a biography of Edwin Stanton. He also has that information posted to his website:

Looks like he intends to have it published in 2016. I will be anxiously looking forward to that one!
