Description

An excerpt:

“Most people have a very limited acquaintance with the career of President James Buchanan, but everybody seems to know one fact about him. He was the only bachelor to be President of the United States. The Republicans introduced this fact into campaign propaganda in 1856 as evidence that Buchanan’s character was defective and his life dissolute.”
