Beskrivning

Although there has been little scholarly interest in Franklin Pierce, the issues of his administration--the Kansas-Nebraska Act, turmoil over Kansas, the Abolitionist crusade, the enforcement of the 1850 Fugitive Slave Act--and the political convulsions that took place have all been of interest, particularly to scholars examining the causes of the Civil War. This annotated bibliography provides information on sources pertaining to Pierce, his times, his administration, and other important figures in the government. The work also includes an introduction, chronology of Pierce's life, and indexes.
