Summary note
"James Jaquess was a preacher, a college president and colonel of an Illinois regiment. Lincoln invited Jaquess to serve as one of his personal agents. After the Civil War, he was tried for murder, failed as a carpetbagger and convinced family and friends to invest in a bonds venture that ended in his poverty and British prison sentence"--Provided by publisher.
