SHM Book Talk with C. Evan Stewart

Attorney and historian C. Evan Stewart comes to Auburn to discuss his new book on William Seward's efforts to stave off secession in between Lincoln's election and inauguration. Stewart's account centers Seward during this chaotic transition and provides an important corrective to history. "Seward's prodigious efforts have either been ignored, given short shrift, or looked upon as something less than honorable," Stewart argues. No longer.
