Presidential Candidates by D. W.Bartlett is an informational look at the various highly qualified candidates for the United States presidency in the mid-1800s. Excerpt: “The sketches in this volume vary in length and minuteness, not from a disposition, on my part, to withhold facts, but because a few of my subjects are too cautious to allow their private history to go before the public; nevertheless, the work contains full and accurate details of the private and public history of our presidential candidates — not one of whom has any idea of the position I have assigned.”
