Fort Wayne attorney, President of the Bank of Indiana, first Comptroller of the Currency, and Secretary of the Treasury under Lincoln, were all titles McCulloch held. His financial acumen helped lead to the National Banking Act of 1864, on which most of current banking practices are based.

Buried in the political story is an account of McColluch’s presence as the President lay dying after Booth shot him at Ford’s theater.
