U. S. Senate Speeches and Remarks of Carl Schurz
Carl Schurz was a United States Senator from Missouri from March, 1869, to
March, 1875. Here are selected speeches he gave and remarks he made on the
Senate floor during this time. All the speeches that Frederic Bancroft
included in Speeches, Correspondence and Political Papers of
Carl Schurz (six volumes, G. P. Putnam's Sons, 1913) appear here
(in boldface below) as well as others. For all the speeches and remarks, the page numbers
where they are located in
The
Congressional Globe and its successor, the
Congressional
Record,
are noted. Sometimes the corresponding entry in the
Journal
of the Senate of the United States of America is noted as well.
There may be other worthwhile things to be found among remarks he made
in Senate committee hearings and other meetings off the main floor
of the Senate, but I haven't explored those yet.
