Summary "Recollections of Forty Years in the House, Senate and Cabinet" by John Sherman is an autobiography written in the late 19th century. The work reflects on Sherman's extensive political career, detailing his experiences and observations during crucial periods of American history, including the Civil War and Reconstruction. As a prominent figure, Sherman addresses his roles in various political contexts, aiming to provide an insider's perspective on significant events and legislative measures. The opening of the autobiography includes a preface where Sherman explains the genesis of the book. Initially intended to compile his speeches on public issues, the project evolved into a more comprehensive reminiscence of his life and the major events he witnessed from 1854 onwards. Sherman contemplates the impact of the Civil War and the abolition of slavery, recognizing his personal involvement in shaping financial policies during a transformative era for the United States. He emphasizes the importance of conveying historical narratives from a first-person perspective, sharing insights about the political climate, key figures he interacted with, and the evolution of his political beliefs and values.
