About Franklin Pierce: Young Hickory of the Granite Hills

Franklin Young Hickory of the Granite Hills. Franklin Pierce – the fourteenth President of the United Sates – – has existed in the public mind as a stereotype rather than as a many-sided human being. The predominate picture that we have of him is that of a weak and shallow man, a and “mediocrity and ” who left little imprint upon the history of the United States. Indeed, his personality was complex, made up of varying strengths and conflicting inadequacies, while his life, full of inner turmoil, had an aspect of overwhelming tragedy. This authoritative biography makes available a full-scale study of an unusually interesting human being. With the same thoroughness and intensity that have distinguished all if his historical writing, Roy F. Nichols follows Pierce’s life from his earliest years in New Hampshire, though his college career at Bowdoin, his marriage into the distinguished ranks of an established New England family, his rise in politics, his services as a brigadier general of volunteers in the Mexican War, and his election to the Presidency as a and “dark Horse and ” candidate of the Democratic Party. Mr. Nichols minutely examines all the domestic and international crises that beset Pierce’s administration – the growing conflict between North and South that was to erupt within a decade into civil war, the abortive attempt to annex Cuba, the troubled relations with England, the filibustering activities of such men as William Walker which aroused much resentment in Central America toward the United States. Not only does the author refashion the exciting events of these critical days in American history, but he also unfolds, with sympathy and compassion, the tragic developments that dogged Pierce in his personal life – his difficult marriage, his wife’s illness, the death of three sons, the final bleak years of obscurity before he passed away, almost forgotten by the nation he had served.
