Hon Samuel J Tilden Cast As A Powerful Yet Contested Leader

A lengthy portrait defends Samuel J. Tilden as an astute and capable statesman who would have shaped national policy if allowed to govern. It rebukes critics who label him senile and paralyzed, praising his influence on New York’s reform era and suggesting he could have transformed the nation. It notes rivals like Cyrus W. Field and Vanderbilt’s allies and bills him a formidable political strategist facing relentless partisan attacks.
