On Thursday, January 20, join LancasterHistory virtually for a lecture on James Buchanan and Partisan Politics featuring speaker Dr. John W. Quist.

Quist will discuss James Buchanan’s political career and the emergence of partisan politics in America.

John W. Quist is professor of history at Shippensburg University and the author of Michigan’s War: The Civil War in Documents, co-editor of James Buchanan and the Coming of the Civil War, editor of Richard H.
