About This Item
8vo, 426 pp plus 8 photo pages. Very good copy with dust jacket showing some wear and tears across the top but very clean and nice. Reading the life of this Southern Senator sheds light on American history seldom seen in such biographies. A very detailed look at the life and work of this statesman who eloquently put the substance of the roots of the Civil War into the public conscious. Calhoun's national prominence started with his election to Congress in 1810. He later was to become a Vice-President and Secretary of War. As a senator, he became the vocal voice of states rights.A courageous man, he was one of principles and convictions. His story is well worth reading to get an insight into pre-Civil War ideas and arguments.
