One of only two American presidential political biographies written by men of letters. Hawthorne was a college classmate and friend of Pierce's, and he wrote this during the presidential campaign of 1852. While professing objectivity, Hawthorne considered the work "a political biography, and as a representation of the principles and acts of a public man, intended to operate upon the minds of multitudes, during a presidential canvass." Pierce’s activities during the war are covered extensively on pp. 66-108. Pierce, a general, landed at Veracruz and went with the army all the way to final victory at Mexico City. E-063; 12mo 7" - 7½" tall; 144 pages .
