“Walter's biography is a superior one. It is objective, based on extensive research, and well written.”
—Chicago Tribune

“Raymond Walters, Jr., has presented us, after years of arduous study both in America and in Europe, with the first picture of Gallatin that approaches full length. Certainly it is one of the most important biographies of the year.”
