2102 Benjamin Franklin Wade: Radical Republican from Ohio, by H. L. Trefousse (read 12 Oct 1987) This is a 1962 biography. Wade was born 27 Oct 1800 at Feeding Hills, Mass., and died 2 Mar 1878. He served as Senator from Ohio from 1851 to 1869. This book speaks well of him, and I think there are good things to be said for him. But since he had numerous enemies, he is probably the reason Johnson was not convicted in his impeachment trial. This was a good book, worth reading. ( )
