the democrats

This post is about a book I bought at Key West a few years ago.

Now when I am in my Tourist Mode I am always hot to buy something.

or as my mother always said:  is that money burning a hole in your pocket?


So on the last day there  - I saw my last chance to buy something at this really
cool museum - I think it might have been connected with Harry Truman - who
spent vacations at Key West when he was President.

I remember looking and looking and trying to find something to buy.

And this is what I came up with.

The Democrats - From Jefferson to Clinton
(updated with a forward by Jimmy Carter)

by Robert Allen Rutland

A couple of times I got it out and opened it up:   hard

In the center of the book are some good political cartoons and
in the front a nice picture of Thomas Jefferson.

Contents:

The Eight Chapters are entitled:

The Jeffersonian Genesis
An Era of Feelings - Good and Bad
The Jacksonian Revival
Democracy or Slavocracy?
Waving the Bloody Shirt
Cleveland:  Honest and Lucky
New Freedom, New Deal, and New Problems
The Care of Human Life and Happiness


I'm thinking this could bring about some good Discussion.
