This was a wonderful story. My friend said that I am officially a “leading authority on Chester A. Arthur.” It was organized, with accurate and complete research.
The author did a nice job of presenting all of the facts and then going deeper than what is most commonly talked about with Arthur, from the Party Boss and “yes man,” for Conkling.
It is also a great story of redemption about how Arthur begins to change as the President and considers his legacy and goes above and beyond his own vanity and his own interests.
This is a book that I highly recommend for any person who loves history and loves our presidents.
