Description
In the first full-scale biography of Calhoun in almost fifty years, John Niven presents a new interpretation of this preeminent spokesman of the Old South. Skillfully blending Calhoun's public career with important elements of his private life, Niven shows Calhoun to have been at once a more consistent politician and a more complex human being than previous historians have portrayed. This masterly retelling of John C. Calhoun's eventful life is a model biography.
First Sentence
It was obvious to those who visited John C. Calhoun during the second week of March, 1850, that the sixty-eight-year-old southern statesman was extremely ill.
