About this book
Robert Toombs, by Pleasant A. Stovall, is headed Statesman, Speaker, Soldier, Sage. The book lists his career in Congress and on the hustings, his work in the courts, his record with the army and his life at home. The text says that in 1837 the great panic which swept over the country left a large amount of litigation in its path, and that between that time and 1843 Lawyer Toombs did an immense practice.
The text calls the words Georgia could make better terms out of the Union than in it the determining sentiment of the hour. The text also describes gray-bearded men vying with the hot blood of youth, and a venerable citizen of Augusta illuminating his residence from dome to cellar. The book carries an index with entries such as Illinois, contest between Lincoln and Douglas in, Ireland, tour through, and Intoxicating liquor, use of.
