when was salmon p. chase born
Salmon P. Chase: Lincolnâs Treasury Secretary. With all of the interest in Lincoln and the Civil War Sesquicentennial, I thought this would be an opportune time to write about a member of Lincolnâs cabinet â Secretary of the Treasury Salmon P. Chase. Salmon P. Chase was born January 13, 1808, in New Hampshire and later moved to Cincinnati, Ohio. He became well known locally, and even wrote a treatise on the laws of Ohio that was used for many years.
