Stampp (read 10 Aug 1991) This is an assiduous digging into contemporary sources to tell the story of the year of the Dred Scott decision, Kansas, and the 1857 Panic. It did not seem to say much new.

The is no meter; no pace. He starts in December 1856 and circles around the whole previous 5 to 15 years. I can't say that I enjoyed this book, learned anything new, or will remember it for anything but a very tedious read. Sorry I can't say anything more positive, but he really dashed my hopes and tried my patience. Zeige 3 von 3 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
