"The Life and Letters of George Bancroft" offers an intimate glimpse into the world of one of America's most influential historians and statesmen. This collection, compiled by M. A. De Wolfe Howe, brings together a carefully curated selection of Bancroft's personal correspondence and significant life events. Through his letters, readers gain insight into Bancroft's thoughts on politics, literature, and the shaping of American identity.
Bancroft, a prominent figure in 19th-century America, served as Secretary of the Navy and as a diplomat to Great Britain and Germany. His extensive historical writings, particularly his multi-volume "History of the United States," established him as a leading voice in interpreting the nation's past. This volume illuminates the man behind the historical narratives, revealing his intellectual pursuits, personal relationships, and enduring commitment to public service. A valuable resource for scholars and anyone interested in American history and biography.
