37 The abolitionists never forgave Stanley Matthews, who was prosecuting attorney in the 1858

William M. Connelly case. Matthews had been a Free Soiler and was unhappy about his official

role in the Connelly prosecution. Nevertheless, the incident was used against him when he ran

for congress in 1876 and in 1881 when he was appointed to the supreme court. Selden Gale

1 F. H. Mason, The Forty-Second Ohio Infantry (Cleveland, 1876), 88-89.

2 Garfield to J. H. Rhodes, February 12, 1862. This letter is in a collection of manuscripts

owned by the Garfield family which is at present on loan to Professors Harry Brown and Frederick

DeForest Williams of Michigan State University. Unless otherwise noted, all references to Garfield

papers that follow are to this collection. I wish to thank the Garfield family and Professors Brown

and Williams for allowing me access to this material.

3 E. Merton Coulter, The Civil War and Readjustment in Kentucky (Chapel Hill, N.C., 1926),

139-140.

Armies (Washington, 1880-1901), Series I, Vol. X, Pt. 2, p. 68. Hereafter cited as Official Records.

6 Official Records, VII, 33.

7 Garfield to J. H. Rhodes, February 12, 1862.

8 Garfield to his wife, January 26, 1862. The Kentucky troops under his command did not share

in the general enthusiasm for Garfield. Resentful of his apparent preference for Ohio soldiers, the

Kentuckians had quite different notions of his doings, as can be seen by a toast popular at their

gatherings: "Gen. Garfield and Major Pardee-May their souls be in Hell together." Unsigned

note dated April 16, 1862. Garfield Papers, Library of Congress.

9 Garfield to J. H. Rhodes, February 12, 1862.
