An Epoch and a Man is a comprehensive biographical study of Martin Van Buren, the eighth President of the United States, and the turbulent political era he helped define. Denis Tilden Lynch provides a detailed exploration of the man often called the 'Little Magician' or the 'Red Fox of Kinderhook, ' tracing his journey from a local lawyer in New York to the highest office in the land. The narrative goes beyond a simple life story to examine the shift in American politics during the early 19th century, focusing on the birth of modern party machinery and the influential 'Albany Regency.'

Readers will find a deep analysis of the Jacksonian period, the formation of the Democratic Party, and the complex alliances that shaped the antebellum United States. Lynch captures the essence of a strategist who navigated the intricacies of state and national power during a time of significant social and economic transformation. This work serves as a vital resource for understanding the evolution of the American presidency and the foundational structures of U.S. political campaigning and administration.
