Description

American Presidents, Third Edition presents an essay on the life and administration of each U.S. president, in chronological order. Each essay begins with ready reference information: name; administration number and years (e.g. 7th President, 1829-1837); birth and death dates and locations; political party; vice presidents; and cabinet members by department. The text offers a comprehensive portrait of the life and times of the president, from birth through political rise, election, term of office, defeat or retirement, and death. The legacy of each administration is measured against the yardstick of U.S. history, and the evolution of the office and the country can be traced clearly.
