Lincoln Ally and Stanton Battles Over McKibben Case
A detailed reminiscence recounts how Edwin M. Stanton confined Jere McKibben in Old Capitol Prison amid Lincoln’s intervention. Lincoln, angered by Stanton’s action, moved to discharge McKibben from parole, and after tense exchanges, McKibben was freed with Lincoln’s support. The narrative also covers Stanton’s later career and health decline after the war.
