Download or read book Samuel Freeman Miller Letter and Biographical Sketch written by Samuel Freeman Miller and published by . This book was released on 1886 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The letter dated September 30, 1886 appears to be handwritten by Miller himself and was written on stationary from the Supreme Court of the United States, Washington, D.C. It is short and very difficult to read; but it seems that Miller is expressing regret for something not made entirely clear. The biographical sketch included in this collection, written well after Miller’s death, appears to be authored by a J.M. Winterbotham in 1932. Although extremely difficult to read, one can discern it to be telling a general story of the life of Samuel Freeman Miller, made possible by including very important dates in his life (ex. year of birth, when he graduated from law school and died, etc.).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Appointed by Abraham Lincoln to the U.S. Supreme Court during the Civil War, Samuel Freeman Miller (1816--1890) served on the nation's highest tribunal for twenty-eight tumultuous years and holds a place in legal history as one of the Court's most influential justices. Michael A. Ross creates a colorful portrait of a passionate man grappling with the difficult legal issues arising from a time of wrenching social and political change. He also explores the impact President Lincoln's Supreme Court appointments made on American constitutional history. Best known for his opinions in cases dealing with race and the Fourteenth Amendment, particularly the 1873 Slaughter-House Cases, Miller has often been considered a misguided opponent of Reconstruction and racial equality. In this major reinterpretation, Ross argues that historians have failed to study the evolution of Miller's views during the war and explains how Miller, a former slaveholder, became a champion of African Americans' economic and political rights. He was also the staunchest supporter of the Court of Lincoln's controversial war measures, including the decision to suspend such civil liberties as habeas corpus. Although commonly portrayed as an agrarian folk hero, Miller in fact initially foresaw and embraced a future in which frontier and rivertown settlements would bloom into thriving metropolises. The optimistic vision grew from the free-labor ideology Miller brought to the Iowa Republican Party he helped found, one that celebrated ordinatry citizens' right to rise in station an driches. Disillusioned by the eventual failure of the boomtowns and repelled by the swelling coffers of eastern financiers, corporations, and robber barons, Miller became an insistent judicial voice for western Republicans embittered and marginalized in the Gilded Age. The first biography of Miller since 1939, this welcome volume draws on Miller's previously unavailable papers to shed new light on a man who saw his dreams for America shattered but whose essential political and social values, as well as his personal integrity, remained intact.

This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Samuel Freeman Miller: Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States Washington is often spoken of as the Founder, and Lincoln as the Savior of our Country. Great as their achievements are they did not accomplish their patriotic service alone. It is right to recall those who stood at their side in places almost as burdensome and responsible and whose faithful and able service in offices less con spicuous, made the founding and saving of the Country possible. The two periods which Washington and Lincoln typify required not merely able executives, but great, and I may almost say, creative Judges, for, to use the words of Chief Justice Fuller: Great prob lems crowded for solution. One was the time of the adoption and first operation of our highly novel Constitution, and the other the time of the adoption and first operation of its great and highly novel Amendments. Jurists of capacity were needed and they were not wanting in either period to the Bench or the Bar. Without doubt or question, Chief Justice Marshall stands as the great judi cial figure of the earlier age, though he came to the Bench only when Washington had been a little more than a year in his tomb at Mt. Vernon. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work.
