Summary

Tenure of Office: September 16, 1823 - March 4, 1829 Rising from his beginnings as a young New Jersey jurist to become Secretary of the Navy under James Monroe, Samuel L. Southard emerged as a "diligent and durable" figure in American political history. With my special guests, Rob and Jamie of Totalus Rankium, we explore how Southard utilized family connections to end up involved in high-stakes political maneuvering that turned this "restless spirit" into a cornerstone of the executive branch on the eve of John Quincy Adams’s inauguration.
