Excerpt from James Harlan The career of James Harlan as depicted by Mr. Brigham in the following pages is typically western. It spans the first half century of the history of Iowa as a State, and offers a cross-sectional view of the momentous years of slavery agitation, war, and reconstruction. In the United States Senate from 1855 to 1865 and from 1867 to 1873 Mr. Harlan was a prominent and influential figure. Especially was he active and successful in his advocacy of every measure which sought to benefit the people of the West. This biography, begun by Mr. Brigham in 1906, was originally designed and outlined as a two-volume work. In order, however, to bring it within the compass of the Iowa Biographical Series it became necessary to condense it into a single volume - a long and laborious task, the carrying out of which has necessarily greatly delayed the publication of the book.
