A campaign flyer for the 1860 elections; the richest man in the Midwest praises the Republican Party as the protector of working people and farmers. Detroit's first millionaire, tycoon of Great Lakes shipping, railroads, mining, logging and steel, Eber Brock Ward (1811-1875) was not a prolific writer.
