"Peterson has rendered a balanced, highly readable, and enjoyable account of presidential politics during the terms of Harrison and Tyler. She has brought life and meaning to a period frequently thought of as a void in American political history."--Journal of Southern History"Peterson has worked her way through the tangled skein of the Harrison-Tyler presidencies with clarity and authority. . . . A worthy addition to the successful American Presidency Series, Peterson's study will become a standard account of these hitherto neglected years."--Journal of the Early Republic"A significant reinterpretation."--Library Journal"An excellent narrative. . . . Recommended most highly."--Choice"Peterson forces us to revise our pictures of one of American history's more blurry eras and shows us its importance as well. An educated general public, college students, and professional historians will all benefit from this fine work."--History: Reviews of New Books
