King of the Lobby: The Life and Times of Sam Ward,… par Kathryn Allamong Jacob
Brother of Julia Ward Howe, friend of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Oscar Wilde, and James A. Garfield, in-law of the Astors ... Sam Ward was quite a character, and Kathryn Allamong Jacob tells the story of his life in this fine biography. Ward's career as lobbyist extraordinaire is carefully reconstructed here, as is his vast network of correspondents and relationships. Completely enjoyable and very much worth a read if you're interested in Gilded Age political maneuverings.
