Extraordinarily wealthy and influential, Stephen Duncan was a landowner, slaveholder, and financier with an array of social, economic, and political contacts in pre-Civil War America. Martha Jane Brazy offers a compelling portrait of antebellum life through exploration of Duncan's multifaceted personal networks in both the South and the North.
