HTML:This is the biography of three of the most fascinating personalities of Civil War America. They were Salmon P. Chase, Lincoln's Secretary of the Treasury and later Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, a man obsessed with the ambition to become President; Chase's daughter Kate, who was Washington's reigning beauty and America's most influential political hostess; and Kate's husband William Sprague, the young millionaire Senator from Rhode Island. Chase was a man of talent, even of potential greatness. This classic figure of a statesman had fought his way up through the jungle of mid-nineteenth-century American politics to a place of leadership. He was among the most powerful spokesmen of the uncompromising Radical wing of the Republican Party. Chase was bitterly disappointed when the Republican convention of 1860 passed him by, deciding in favor of a compromise candidate, Abraham Lincoln. He was determined that 1864 would not see him unsuccessful again. With his portrait engraved on the nation's greenbacks, his name and face were continuously before the country.
