As a tribute to the memory of Mr. Beecher, I trust it may be acceptable to his family. Very Truly Yours / Lucretia R. Garfield." Henry Ward Beecher (1813-1887) was an American social reformer, abolitionist, and influential clergyman. His sister, Harriet Beecher Stowe, achieved worldwide acclaim for her abolitionist novel Uncle Tom's Cabin. During Beecher's lifetime, his sermons focused on God's love, a notable departure from his Calvinist upbringing. He was a religious guide to multiple Republican presidents, including Abraham Lincoln, who said that no one in history had "so productive a mind." A recent work on his life by Debby Applegate, titled "The Most Famous Man in America: The Biography of Henry Ward Beecher," won the Pulitzer Prize for Biography in 2007.
