1855 Political Party Leaders Jefferson Hamilton Clay Jackson Government Law



“A graphic sketch of the history of political parties in the United States” (About)



A rare, mid-19th-century account of important American political figures and well-recognized events. According to Crosbys North American Review from 1855, Party Leaders author Joseph Baldwin

“has virtually dramatized the portions of our political history of which he undertakes to portray the central personages. We are not certain that he adduces any new facts or anecdotes; but he writes as if he had participated actively in all that he describes.”

While this book covers a plethora of popular and lesser-known politicians alike, according to About,

Baldwins estimate of Mr. (Henry) Clay is another important feature of this book. He understands, and does justice to the astonishing ability and force of character which enabled that statesman to exercise a more durable and commanding influence over the intellectual and reflecting portion of his countrymen than any other politician whom the country has produced.”
