Summary:The first comprehensive study of our 22nd and 24th president in nearly seventy years. The only Democrat elected to the presidency between the Civil War and World War I rose to prominence through the ranks of mayor of Buffalo and governor of New York. Always concerned with the majority, never the favored few, Cleveland believed his ultimate allegiance was to the nation, not to a party, and he acted on his beliefs throughout his entire political life. Though at first considered an enemy of labor because of his firm handling of the bloody Chicago Pullman strike, his accomplishments include his heroic quest to improve the quality of life for American Indians, his battles against the railroads and big business to prevent the destruction of land, and his insistence on tariff reduction and remaining on the Gold Standard, which saved the nation from bankruptcy.--From publisher description.
