“With meticulous research, Walter Stahr breathes new life into Salmon Chase... Above all, this is a book about racial justice: about Chase’s long quest to end slavery and secure Black rights in America.”
After more than two decades as a lawyer, Walter Stahr started writing books about American leaders. His biographies of John Jay, William Henry Seward and Edwin Stanton have earned praise and awards, and he is now at work on Salmon Chase, antislavery activist, treasury secretary and chief justice.
