Title: The Presidency of Martin Van Buren by Major L. Wilson
Summary: Martin Van Buren, eighth president of the United States, has been judged harshly by some historians as a politician by trade and a spoils man without principles, a "little magician" who was interested only in his own advancement. This volume provides a thorough recounting of the events and decisions of Van Buren's White House years (1837-1841), and adds to the positive reappraisal of Van Buren as an able statesman and effective chief executive. Wilson stresses that Van Buren faced the major problems of his presidency with courage and consistency, and that he brought repose to a nation wrenched both by sectional differences and by the violent fluctuations of economic expansion and contraction.
