About This Item
Baton Rouge: Louisiana State University Press, 1973. The "first full-length treatment" of this contentious post-Civil War presidential election, which broke Republican single-party near total control of government and spelled the end of Reconstruction. Includes careful examination of election procedures, campaigning, and the electoral vote count controversy that followed; Polakoff argues the Federal presence in southern states was doomed anyway, and the Compromise of 1877 was superfluous. Hardcover in jacket, as pictured. Light wear to book; jacket shows minor edgewear, light creasing, couple of faint small stains to spine. Text clean; xiv, 343 pages; index, essay on sources. . First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. Octavo.
