Trade Review
"This is a bold and imaginative book, and its reach is wide. There is nothing like it in contemporary political historiography and it will have a major impact on the way American historians think about the politics of the period." -- -Joel Sibey Cornell University "Baker's work [is] a welcome complement to studies of 19th-century political culture... Her analysis is both original and provocative." -Choice
