Description:In the years that followed the establishment of the United States as a constitutional democracy, many men played dramatic roles in shaping the new nation, formulating its institutions, and contributing to its prodigious growth, Many of them have been the subjects of major biographies, and in this fully realized life study Louis McLane of Delaware (1784-1857) becomes as well known as his peers.McLane started young. By his early thirties he had won a seat in the House of Representatives, and he served there until 1827, when he went on to the Senate. In 1829 he left the Senate to become minister to Great Britain; by 1834 he had served in Andrew Jackson's cabinet both as Secretary of the Treasury and as Secretary of State. Under James K. Polk he served again as minister to Great Britain. McLane left public service in 1837 to become president of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, at that time the nation's leading railroad. Under his energetic hand the line thrust westward to an Ohio River terminus, eventually achieved, after McLane's presidency, at Wheeling, West Virginia.The length and richness of his career with its varied dimensions may account for the fact that the present volume is the first full-scale biography of an extraordinary man living a full life in the young and lively years of the Republic.
