Description
This book is the first to provide a critical assessment of the Harrison presidency. Harrison has long been treated as a cipher; this study rescues him, portraying him as a confident, hard-working, and even visionary leader. . . . Essential for scholars." —Library Journal
"This thorough and well-researched volume makes a persuasive case that Harrison foreshadowed the presidential activism that began with William McKinley. It should stimulate new scholarly interest in an underrated and complex occupant of the White House." —Journal of American History
"In its analytical treatment of the Harrison presidency, this work supersedes the semi-popular Sievers biography. . . . Socolofsky and Spetter have brought Benjamin Harrison and his presidency out of the shadows and have shed much light on an era whose long-term impact modern scholars increasingly recognize." —Indiana Magazine of History
