Book desription: NY: Twayne Publishers, [1957]. First and only edition. Cloth, 8vo, 365 pages. Very Good/good. Edges foxed, dustjacket considerably rubbed, spine ends chipped. Butler had been Governor of Massachusetts and a Congressman, even though he was well known for his cantankerousness. His appointment to lead the Union's Army of the James was more for poitical purposes; he was not a very capable soldier. This is the only book-length study of Butler, and "it stands as a useful correction to Butler's autobiographical writings"--Eicher 457. Butler's "achievements as a reformer--whatever his motives--accord him a lasting place in history"--Nevins II 95.
