1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Still Excellent a Century Later By Kevin M. Derby Originally written in the 1870s (with a new edition released after the subject's death in the 1880s), Richard M. Johnston's biography of his friend Alexander H. Stephens remains one of the best books on that leading Georgia statesman who ended up as the only VP in the short history of the Confederate States. Johnston guides the reader through Stephens' political life though he is not that good on "Little Aleck's" tenure as VP of the Confederacy or his role in shaping the Confederate government in Montgomery. Where Johnston excels is in letting the reader understand the man's personal life. There are many quotes from various works of Stephens-diaries, speeches, letters. After reading this book, the reader will see glimpses of why Stephens fought depression his entire life, from childhood to the grave. There are many unforgettable images and sketches here-Stephens addressing a crowd of former slaves on July 4, 1876; his tribute to his old foe and older friend Abraham Lincoln; his deep affection for his brother Linton; a little boy looking up at the clouds hoping his dead mother could see him from heaven above; and his love for all his dogs, especially Rio. Despite how close Johnston was with Stephens, the biographer was more detached than not. This is no hagiography to be sure and Johnston often finds his subject's political passions a bit odd though Johnston does seem to be sympathetic to Stephens' moderation as the Union was about to dissolve. Johnston was also content to let Stephens speak for himself and the passages here give the reader some insight into the brilliant and troubled mind of Alexander Hamilton Stephens, perhaps the last politician as political philosopher to be on the national stage. Despite being written over 130 years ago, this remains one of the most remarkable biographies that I have ever come across.
