Remembered most often for his uncompromising administration of the Federal occupation of New Orleans during the war, Butler reemerges in this lively narrative as a man whose journey took him from childhood destitution to wealth and profound influence in state and national halls of power. Prize-winning biographer Elizabeth Leonard chronicles Butler's successful career in the law defending the rights of the Lowell Mill girls and other workers, his achievements as one of Abraham Lincoln's premier civilian generals, and his role in developing wartime policy in support of slavery's fugitives as the nation advanced toward emancipation"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Butler, Benjamin F. $q (Benjamin Franklin), $d 1818-1893. 650 0 $a Generals $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Statesmen $z United States $v Biography. 651 0 $a United States $x History $y Civil War, 1861-1865 $v Biography. 650 0 $a Biographies. 830 0 $a Civil War America (Series) 941 $a 2 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20220902010702.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20220802022954.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C358248E122B11EDB028045E3CECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
