good in showing Buchanan's mastery of Pennsylvania politics as well as his 
mistaken responses to issues like the LeCompton Constitution, the homestead 
bill, and secession. Good bibliography. COHEN, p 71. Bound in 
mustard-colored cloth over boards with spine and upper board stamped in 
blue. Shallow bump at bottom edge of lower board. Jacket has a few shallow
