From one of our most acclaimed new biographersâ the first full life of the leader of Lincolnâs âteam of rivalsâ to appear in more than forty years. William Henry Seward was one of the most important Americans of the nineteenth century. Progressive governor of New York and outspoken U.S. senator, he was the odds-on favorite to win the 1860 Republican nomination for president.
