The Life of Gen. Franklin Pierce of New Hampshire, President of the United States is a biography written by David W. Bartlett. The book tells the story of Franklin Pierce, who served as the 14th President of the United States from 1853 to 1857. Born in New Hampshire in 1804, Pierce was a lawyer and politician who rose to prominence in the Democratic Party. He served in both the House of Representatives and the Senate before being elected president in 1852. The book provides a detailed account of Pierce's life, from his childhood in New Hampshire to his political career in Washington, D.C. It explores his relationships with his family, including his wife Jane Pierce, who suffered from depression and played a significant role in his presidency. The book also delves into Pierce's views on slavery and his efforts to maintain the Union in the face of growing tensions between North and South. Bartlett's biography draws on a wide range of sources, including letters, speeches, and contemporary accounts of Pierce's life. It offers a nuanced and complex portrait of a president who is often overlooked in American history. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the United States in the mid-19th century, as well as those interested in the personal and political life of Franklin Pierce.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
