520			_a"Reminiscences of Sixty Years in Public Affairs, Vol. 2" by George S. Boutwell is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The text provides an insider's view of politics during a transformative period in American history, primarily focusing on Boutwell's experiences as he navigated significant events such as the Civil War, the impeachment of President Andrew Johnson, and the legislative developments following the war. The opening of the volume introduces Boutwell's election to Congress in 1862 amidst political rivalries and shifting alliances resulting from the Civil War. It highlights a contentious election against Judge Benjamin F. Thomas and explores the political dynamics of the Thirty-eighth Congress, including the challenges faced by President Lincoln and the diverse perspectives within Congress. Boutwell reflects on key figures, debates, and issues of the time, including the tension between radical and conservative factions within the Republican Party and the intricate balance of power as the nation grappled with the implications of the war and reconstruction.
