Recenzii

...fills a void in the late nineteenth century history of the United States. Professor Beauregard's definitive biography throws new light on Bingham's thoughts and actions and contributes mightily to our understanding of the politics of his time. (Charles B. Wallace, President emeritus, The Harrison County Historical Society) In this monograph (the word is the author's), Dr. Beauregard has given us a worthy study of a most worthy man, who walked humbly with his God. Perhaps this book will stimulate interest in a man, obviously admired by his biographer, and likely in turn to be admired by readers of this study, too long deffered. (John S. Phillipson, Ohioana Quarterly) In this study, Beauregard succeeds in illuminating the career of an important nineteenth century politician. His documentation is impressive and his narrative is clear. ...this book is an important contribution to the ongoing task of revising the political history of the nineteenth century. Perhaps Bingham does not rank as a candidate to represent Ohio in the statuary in the Capitol in Washington as Beauregard suggests, yet Beauregard's case for Bingham's rehabilitation is strong. (Mark A. Plummer, Journal of the Gilded Age)
