Publisher description
Excerpt from John Sherman: What the Has Said and Done, Being a History of the Life and Public Serivces of the Hon. John Sherman The following sketch has been prepared, not at Mr. Sherman's request, nor that of his friends, but by his con sent, with the caution that there should be no exaggeration. It was his evident wish to be presented to those who know him not, just as he appears to those who do know him. All that relates to the Sherman family and ancestry has been gathered from authentic historians of Connecticut. The facts of his private personal history have been gathered from the writers own knowledge, and from that of Mr. Sherman's sister, and his neighbors, corrected by himself. It is intended by the writer to make this narrative a plain, simple, common-place statement of the leading and characteristic facts of Mr. Sherman's life; to cover up nothing that would tell against him, and exaggerate nothing in his favor. It is firmly believed that whoever reads this sketch, and afterwards makes His acquaintance, will find Mr. Sherman the same straightforward, earnest, laborious servant of the public that he is here represented to be. This book is meant to be, not an argument to support a candidate for the Presidency, but such a statement of what Mr. Sherman has said and done as shall enable an intelligent public to judge whether or not the subject of it worthily deserves to be President.
