Broderick and Gwin: The Most Extraordinary Contest For A Seat In The Senate Of The United States Ever Known; A Brief History Of Early Politics In California is a book written by James O'Meara that explores the political climate of California in the mid-19th century. The book focuses on the intense rivalry between David C. Broderick and William M. Gwin, both vying for a seat in the US Senate. The contest was marked by personal attacks, political maneuvering, and even violence.The book provides a detailed account of the political landscape of California during this time, including the role of the Democratic Party, the influence of the Gold Rush, and the tensions between Northern and Southern California. The author also examines the broader political context of the era, including the slavery debate and the growing divide between the North and South.Through extensive research and analysis, O'Meara presents a vivid picture of the personalities and strategies of Broderick and Gwin, as well as the larger forces that shaped their political careers. The book offers a fascinating glimpse into the early days of California politics and the struggle for power in a rapidly changing state.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
