Book excerpt: Excerpt from Francis Lieber's Influence on American Thought and Some of His Unpublished Letters The career of Carl Schurz in America was much more spectacular than that of the more studious and philo sophic Lieber. The one, Schurz, is distinguished for his activity in journalism and law; for his cleverness as a politician and lec turer, but more particularly for his active service in the American Civil War, where he held the rank Of a major-general Of volum teers. It is for his services in the latter capacity that we know him best; the other, Lieber, while not actually bearn arms during that dreadful period of our history, did as much for his adopted country as his more famous contemporary, but in a different way. Lieber might have been of great value to the Union cause if he had entered the military service of his adopted country, because he had, as a young man, passed through a most rigorous campaign against Napoleon.
