This book is the first to provide a critical assessment of the
Harrison presidency. Harrison has long been treated as a cipher;
this study rescues him, portraying him as a confident,
hard-working, and even visionary leader. . . . Essential for
scholars." —Library Journal
"This thorough and well-researched volume makes a persuasive case
that Harrison foreshadowed the presidential activism that began
with William McKinley. It should stimulate new scholarly interest
in an underrated and complex occupant of the White House." —Journal
of American History
"In its analytical treatment of the Harrison presidency, this work
supersedes the semi-popular Sievers biography. . . . Socolofsky and
Spetter have brought Benjamin Harrison and his presidency out of
the shadows and have shed much light on an era whose long-term
impact modern scholars increasingly recognize." —Indiana Magazine
of History
