This first full-length biography documents the strong family ties
and loyalties that shaped Daniels's character and demonstrates the
extent to which his religion bred not only the merry puritanism but
also the moral courage that figured in his career and in his
personal life. There is ample evidence to show that in spite of
dire forecasts of disaster, he succeeded where his critics insisted
that he must fail. His was a triumph of temperament over
inexperience, of character over qualifications.
