officer's point of view.
For the politician's point of view one may go to James G. Blaine's
"Twenty Years of Congress", 2 vols. (1884, 1886) and Samuel S. Cox's
"Three Decades of Federal Legislation" (1885). Good biographies are
James A. Woodburn's "The Life of Thaddeus Stevens" (1913), Moorfield
Storey's "Charles Sumner" (1900), C. F. Adams's "Charles Francis Adams"
(1900). Less satisfactory because more partisan is Edward Stanwood's
"James Gillespie Blaine" (1906). There are no adequate biographies of
the Democratic and Southern leaders.
The official documents are found conveniently arranged in William
McDonald's "Select Statutes", 1861-1898 (1903), and also with other
material in Walter L. Fleming's "Documentary History of Reconstruction",
2 vols. (1906, 1907). The general reader is usually repelled by the
collections known as "Public Documents". The valuable "Ku Klux Trials"
(1872) is, however, separately printed and to be found in most good
libraries. By a judicious use of the indispensable "Tables and Index
to Public Documents," one can find much vividly interesting material in
connection with contested election cases and reports of congressional
investigations into conditions in the South.
