Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical Sketch of the Doylestown Democrat, 1816-1916: With Biographical Sketches of the Editors; In Commemoration of the First Century of the Existence of the Doylestown Democrat The history of the Doylestown Democrat is a history of Bucks County during the last one hundred years. It It so woven into the affairs of this county as to be a part of it. It had its beginning four years after Doylestown became the County Seat and week after week since that time in a great diary it has chronicled the activities and accomplishments of her people and of the world at large. The memory of man fades with age, but the truth of what occurred and when it occurred is here chaliced Immutably in the archives of time. Into the storehouse of its columns the historian of the future will delve to learn the secret of the forces which have made the last century the worlds epochal period of science, agriculture and, invention, and from these reconstruct the whole fabric of History itself. A century ago this nation was In its swaddling clothes. Now it is the Giant of the West, beyond cavil the greatest nation of the world, not only of our time but of all time. A century ago there was not a canal, a railroad, a turnpike in this county. Our hillsides were covered with virgin forests, our waters flowed unbridled to the sea.

Book excerpt: From abject poverty to undisputed political boss of Pennsylvania, Lincoln's secretary of war, senator, chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and a founder of the Republican Party, Simon Cameron (1799-1889) was one of the nineteenth century's most prominent political figures. In his wake, however, he left a series of questionable political and business dealings and, at the age of eighty, even a sex scandal. Far more than a biography of Cameron, Amiable Scoundrel is also a portrait of an era that allowed--indeed, encouraged--a man such as Cameron to seize political control. The political changes of the early nineteenth century enabled him not only to improve his status but also to exert real political authority. The changes caused by the Civil War, in turn, allowed Cameron to consolidate his political authority into a successful, well-oiled political machine. A key figure in designing and implementing the Union's military strategy during the Civil War's crucial first year, Cameron played an essential role in pushing Abraham Lincoln to permit the enlistment of African Americans into the U.S. Army, a stance that eventually led to his forced resignation. Yet his legacy has languished, nearly forgotten save for the fact that his name has become shorthand for corruption, even though no evidence has ever been presented to prove that Cameron was corrupt. Amiable Scoundrel puts Cameron's actions into a larger historical context by demonstrating that many politicians of the time, including Abraham Lincoln, used similar tactics to win elections and advance their careers. This study is the fascinating story of Cameron's life and an illuminating portrait of his times.
