Book Description
Excerpt from God's Centennial: 1776, 1876, 1976 Now, when one hundred years have elapsed, since she was born in doubt and darkness and baptized in blood, she stands forth the mightiest amongst the mighty. Her centennial rejoicings afford topics of interest to the inhabitants of every clime and realm. As Americans we feel proud of our heaven-blessed land, we rej cice in her prosperity, we hail with ven cration her stars and stripes that proudly float in every breeze, we rejoice that our eagle's dusky pin ions are revered and honored the wide world over, and are to the oppressed of every land a symbol of hope and joy. Wonderful are the ways of Provi dence, and wonderful indeed are the steps by which Columbia, beneath His guardianship, has been led to power, Opulence and honor.

Book Description
The third volume of Gore Vidal's magnificent series of historical novels aimed at demythologizing the American past, 1876 chronicles the political scandals and dark intrigues that rocked the United States in its centennial year. ------Charles Schermerhorn Schuyler, Aaron Burr's unacknowledged son, returns to a flamboyant America after his long, self-imposed European exile. The narrator of Burr has come home to recoup a lost fortune by arranging a suitable marriage for his beautiful daughter, the widowed Princess d'Agrigente, and by ingratiating himself with Samuel Tilden, the favored presidential candidate in the centennial year. With these ambitions and with their own abundant charms, Schuyler and his daughter soon find themselves at the centers of American social and political power at a time when the fading ideals of the young republic were being replaced by the excitement of empire. ------"A glorious piece of writing," said Jimmy Breslin in Harper's. "Vidal can take history and make it powerful and astonishing." Time concurred: "Vidal has no peers at breathing movement and laughter into the historical past." ------With a new Introduction by the author.
