He married Louisa Morgan, the eldest daughter, in 1900, and was a close friend and business aide of his father-in-law until his death in Rome in March 1913. Satterlee's 583-page book, now published after 26 years, is astonishingly complete, high-minded, reverent, and occasionally ingenuous or supercilious enough to transfix non-Union...
