 Fish, Hamilton, 1808-93, American statesman. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
Fish was one of many to lionize the victorious Civil War general Ulysses S. Grant, but his appointment (Mar., 1869) as Grant’s Secretary of State, to succeed the grossly miscast Elihu B. Washburne, came as a surprise.
Fish’s greatest achievement as Secretary was bringing about the treaty (see Washington, Treaty of) that paved the way for settlement of the Alabama claims and other long-standing disputes with Great Britain.
Under Fish’s vigilant eye filibustering expeditions from the United States to Cuba were kept to a minimum, but the Virginius affair in 1873 nearly brought the nation, long sympathetic to the Cuban cause, to war with Spain.
