Neilly Series Lecture: Walter Stahr
"Seward: Lincoln's Indispensable Man"
Hawkins-Carlson Room, Rush Rhees Library
February 26, 2014 7:00pm to 8:00pm
The first Neilly Series Lecture in 2014 will be presented by Walter
Stahr, a highly acclaimed biographer whose latest book, Seward:
Lincoln's Indispensable Man, is the first full biography of Seward's
life to be published in more than 40 years.
As Secretary of State under President Abraham Lincoln, William
Henry Seward served as Lincoln’s closest advisor and friend. He
was an early advocate for the rights of African Americans and
women, and is considered one of the most influential Americans of
the Civil War era.
This lecture is especially relevant for the University of Rochester,
as the River Campus Libraries’ Rare Books and Special Collections
Department owns an extensive collection of materials related to
Seward and his family.
Mr. Stahr will be introduced by Dr. Thomas Slaughter, Arthur R.
Miller Professor of History. Dr. Slaughter is collaborating with the
River Campus Libraries to teach a course in which students transcribe and digitize the William Henry Seward
archival collection, with a focus on family papers.
The Neilly Series is supported by the Andrew H. and Janet Dayton Neilly Endowment and the River Campus
Libraries at the University of Rochester. The series is free and open to the public. Reserved parking is available in
the Library Lot.
