Samuel Tilden story reads like a movie
22 July 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
This book was adapted from a screenplay and reads like a movie which is what the author intended. Tilden was a NY Governor who ran for President of the United States...He won the election by over 254,000 votes and then lost it when a conspiracy began the night after that election to confuse the vote. Three states where still under re-construction after the Civil War and their Electorial College votes were submitted in duplicate and triplicate to Congress. A Special Commission was set up to decide the count and they voted along party lines 8 to 7 to give Hayes the Presidency. Tilden supporters were so out-raged by the outcome they threatened to start a second Civil War.

Samuel Tilden; The Real 19th President
23 Mar 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
The author begins the story of Tilden like a novel, which I did not expect. My expectation was that it would be written in the typical expository style of a David McCullah, or Barbara Tuchman. It has numerous typos and repeated sentences, probably due to poor editing. The author also needed to present the unraveling of a complicated event more clearly. I found myself reading passages without comprehending their meaning. However poorly presented, this episode of history needs to be made common knowledge to all literate Americans.
