Description: "Our Living Representative Men - From Official and Original Sources" by John Savage. 1860 1st edition; Childs & Peterson; Philadelphia. The book is a contemporaneous collection of biographical sketches of "the lives and public services of those statesmen, soldiers, and politicians who have been prominently suggested for the Presidential succession in 1861." Though Abraham Lincoln won the election, he was curiously not included in this book. There are 34 memoirs of "representative men" in all, including Jefferson Davis, Sam Houston, Stephen Douglas, Salmon P. Chase, Caleb Cushing, Edward Everett, Millard Fillmore, John C. Fremont, Andrew Johnson, William Seward, Alexander Stephens, and more. Found within the book was a small newspaper clipping from the "Transcript" from October 7, 1858 announcing the arrival of Jefferson Davis at the "Tremont House" in Boston, and his plan to "address the citizens of Boston in Faneuil Hall on the 11th."
