The Impending Crisis, 1848-1861
David M. Potter
History of the period leading up to the beginning of civil war. Written in florid, sometimes almost pompous prose, with too many asides for the reader and comments about what other historians have done, would have preferred “just the facts, ma’m.” And it didn’t really provide information I wasn’t already getting from other, better sources. Disappointing.
