"The most comprehensive account to date of the presidential election that effectively ended Reconstruction and in some ways foreshadowed another disputed contest a century and a quarter later."â Journal of American History "A richly textured account interwoven with manifold insights regarding political motive and maneuver. Holtâs fellow antebellum historians will recognize the hand of the master at work here, while specialists in late nineteenth-century politics will welcome his provocative, sometimes controversial, analyses."â Reviews in American History "All students of U.S. political history will want to read this book. Recommended. All levels/libraries."â Choice "Holt uses great writing amid terse exposition of exceedingly complex procedural issues to tease out explanation and meaning. . . . An outstanding contribution."â H-Net Reviews
