The Presidency Of Franklin Pierce
Gara, Larry (University Press of Kansas, 1991)
This work examines the presidency of Franklin Pierce, the "dark horse of the Granite State," who was born in Hillsboro, N.H. in 1804. It provides an analysis of American politics & foreign policy in the 1850's. This study of Pierce's storm-tossed presidency helps us to understand one of the most crucial chapters of American history.
