The Heritage Foundation is delighted to partner with the Georgetown Center for the Constitution to co-host its Tenth Annual Salmon P. Chase Distinguished Lecture. The Chase Lecture is designed to commemorate important anniversaries and neglected figures in our constitutional history. In this, the final year of the series and the 150th anniversary of his death, the Chase Lecture will focus on its namesake. We are honored to have bestselling author and historian, Walter Stahr, deliver the lecture on “What History and Historians Have Gotten Wrong About Salmon Chase.” The Georgetown Center for the Constitution awarded its sixth annual Thomas M. Cooley Book Prize to Walter Stahr for his book, Salmon P. Chase: Lincoln’s Vital Rival.
Walter Stahr is the New York Times bestselling author of Seward: Lincoln’s Indispensable Man, Stanton: Lincoln’s War Secretary, John Jay: Founding Father, and most recently, Salmon P. Chase: Lincoln’s Vital Rival. A two-time winner of the Seward Award for Excellence in Civil War Biography, Stahr practiced law in Washington and Asia for more than two decades. He is an honors graduate of Stanford University and Harvard Law School.
