About this title

Synopsis

This book brings together widely read speeches and lectures from the editor of the Louisville Courier-Journal, Henry Watterson. Delivered at various times over almost 30 years, the selections address contemporary political issues of the day, particularly the author's strong support of the Democratic party and his dedicated advocacy for civil rights during a time of intense division within the US. Topics covered range from the compromises achieved during the Civil War and Reconstruction era to the author's appeal for greater tolerance and understanding during a period of heightened political and social unrest. While the language and subject matter may at times reflect the partisan political nature of the era in which the speeches were delivered, the author's insights into the themes of national unity, equity, and progress resonate then as they do today.
