Book Description
Excerpt from Biography of Joseph Lane She indorses him, and she is a good judge of men and principles. Governor Lane comes up fresh from the great and pure fountain - the people. He is identified with every class - has risen by his own exertions through every grade of useful toil; and now stands preeminent among the highest in the land, as one who, soon as opportunity offered, showed the "ring of true metal." He is indeed a fitting and noble commentary on the freedom of our institutions. The perusal of his memoirs may force upon the reader, as their compilation has upon the author, the conviction of a resemblance in character to General Jackson. The same intrepidity of soul, patriotism, and firm resolve, that actuated General Jackson, has been manifest throughout General Lane's career. He is such a man, Indiana thinks, as, placed where he may, will fill the measure of his countrymen's expectations. As far as she has tried him such has been the result. His indomitable courage and energy in the field and best of practical common sense in civil life, are associated with a modesty which seeks to hide his merit, rather than, by doing himself justice, exhibit an appearance of proclaiming it. Hence he is not as well known as his services and worth should have made him. Should the Convention nominate him, and he be elected to the Presidency, it will be found (as is confidently anticipated from his past life) that with him we shall have an honest, economical, and American administration especially true to our own country in its foreign policy. Mere diplomacy will be set aside - the tinsel and trickery of courts and courtiers will be at a discount - the Government will be brought back to economy sinecures and favoritism will be abolished, and in the place of these the man of the people will restore our institutions to the paths from which we are fast departing, and make every official of the Government responsible for the faithful performance of his duties. Those who know, say such may reasonably be expected from the Cincinnatus of Indiana. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Here, Michael F. Holt gives us the only comprehensive history of the Whigs ever written. He offers a panoramic account of the tumultuous antebellum period, a time when a flurry of parties and larger-than-life politicians--Andrew Jackson, John C. Calhoun, Martin Van Buren, and Henry Clay--struggled for control as the U.S. inched towards secession. It was an era when Americans were passionately involved in politics, when local concerns drove national policy, and when momentous political events--like the Annexation of Texas and the Kansas-Nebraska Act--rocked the country. Amid this contentious political activity, the Whig Party continuously strove to unite North and South, emerging as the nation's last great hope to prevent secession.
