description: The author goes deeply into the makeup of Pennsylvania politics in the 1850s, describing how both the establishment of the Republican Party in Pennsylvania and the nomination and election of Abraham Lincoln as President had been achieved by the end of 1860. The book, well illustrated with maps and portraits of the dramatis personae, contains 22 pages of footnotes, an extensive bibliography, as well as an index. It is probably the first book to "make sense" of the otherwise confusing Pennsylvania politics during that period.
