Known today as "the other speaker at Gettysburg", Edward Everett had a distinguished and illustrative career at every level of American politics from the 1820s through the Civil War. In this new biography, Matthew Mason argues that Everett's extraordinarily well-documented career reveals a complex man whose shifting political opinions illuminate the nuances of Northern Unionism.
