A biography of the "cast-iron man" of the South, this 1903 book follows the champion of the theory of nullification, who was an inspiration to secessionists though he died ten years before the Civil War. It draws heavily on its subject's speeches and other writings to paint a highly sympathetic portrait of the controversial South Carolina Senator.
