a casual look at Civil War history

 

 

Book review:

A History of the People of the United States

     During Lincoln’s Administration

 

by John Bach McMaster

New York: D. Appleton and Company, 1927

693 pp.

 

This is an intriguing historical excursion into American history from the vantage point of 1927.

McMaster’s style is notably less than academic—his very casual quotation style is a distraction.

Basically, he offers a sometimes superficial political perspective on the origins, conduct, and denouement of the American Civil War.

A well-informed reader can skim A History without undue loss.
