Owner's Description

Edwin Stanton served as Secretary of War under the Lincoln Administration during most of the American Civil War. Stanton's management helped organize the massive military resources of the North and guide the Union to victory. However, he was criticized by many Union generals, who perceived him as overcautious and micromanaging. He also organized the manhunt for Abraham Lincoln's assassin, John Wilkes Booth. It was said he stood steadfast and calm in the aftermath of the assassination as Lincoln lay dying in a bed in the Peterson House across the street from Ford's Theater.
