Edward Everett: Orator and Statesman is a biography of one of the most prominent figures in American politics and public speaking during the mid-19th century. Written by Paul Revere Frothingham, the book chronicles the life of Edward Everett, who served as a Congressman, Governor of Massachusetts, Secretary of State, and United States Senator. Everett was also a renowned orator who was known for his eloquent speeches, including the famous two-hour-long address he delivered at the dedication of the Gettysburg battlefield cemetery in 1863, which preceded Abraham Lincoln's famous Gettysburg Address. Frothingham's biography delves into Everett's upbringing, education, and early career in law, as well as his involvement in the Whig Party and his opposition to slavery. The book also explores Everett's personal life, including his marriage and family, as well as his friendships with other notable figures of the time, such as Daniel Webster and Ralph Waldo Emerson. Overall, Edward Everett: Orator and Statesman provides a comprehensive look at the life and legacy of a man who played a significant role in American politics and public speaking during a pivotal time in the nation's history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
