Stevenson is a collection of personal reflections and historical observations written in the early 20th century. The author shares vivid accounts of significant figures and events he experienced, particularly during his political career from the Civil War era to the late 1800s. The text likely provides insights into the political landscape and notable personalities of that time, focusing on themes of law, governance, and personal anecdotes.  The opening of the book establishes Stevenson's intention to share candid memories about influential men and pivotal moments he has witnessed over the past thirty years. He emphasizes how the country evolved after the Civil War, the importance of prominent statesmen like Lincoln, and the dynamics of the legal profession during that period. Stevenson reflects on the sociability among lawyers, the art of oratory, and the unique political climate, gathering narratives that underscore the interplay between personal relationships and public affairs. His writing suggests an intent to document a transformative era in American history while illuminating the characters who shaped it.
