223. Roger B. Taney, by Carl Brent Swisher (read 25 Dec 1945) On Dec 22, 1945, I said this book "is deep." and that "when I started it was, I thought, an ideal biography, but now it is an interpretation." On Dec 24 I said: 'Just one chapter left in Taney book yet. Sort of welcome." On Dec 25 I said: "Finished Taney. He was a stinker." ( )

This biography must be compared to Walker Lewis' 1965 biography Without Fear or Favor. Both are in this collection.
