As of 2012, only 43 men have held the office of the President of the United States. Some have been sanctified and some reviled. This historical work addresses the careers of the first ten presidents, men who made vital contributions not only to the office of the presidency, but to the course of the fledgling nation. From Washington through Tyler, every term is recounted in detail and each presidential profile provides as many as a hundred quotations (with full source notes) by the president, his friends, family, historians, and others. Each profile ends with an extensive bibliography of books about the president, his principles and policies, and also provides suggestion for further reading. Rigorously nonpartisan in approach, this detail-rich text describes the early years of what may well be one of the most demanding jobs in the world.

The first "accidental president," whose secret maneuverings brought Texas into the Union and set secession in motion When William Henry Harrison died in April 1841, just one month after his inauguration, Vice President John Tyler assumed the presidency. It was a controversial move by this Southern gentleman, who had been placed on the fractious Whig ticket with the hero of Tippecanoe in order to sweep Andrew Jackson's Democrats, and their imperial tendencies, out of the White House. Soon Tyler was beset by the Whigs' competing factions. He vetoed the charter for a new Bank of the United States, which he deemed unconstitutional, and was expelled from his own party. In foreign policy, as well, Tyler marched to his own drummer. He engaged secret agents to help resolve a border dispute with Britain and negotiated the annexation of Texas without the Senate's approval. The resulting sectional divisions roiled the country. Gary May, a historian known for his dramatic accounts of secret government, sheds new light on Tyler's controversial presidency, which saw him set aside his dedication to the Constitution to gain his two great ambitions: Texas and a place in history.

The first vice president to become president on the death of the incumbent, John Tyler (1790-1862) was derided by critics as "His Accidency." In this biography of the tenth president, Edward P. Crapol challenges depictions of Tyler as a die-hard advocate of states' rights, limited government, and a strict interpretation of the Constitution. Instead, he argues, Tyler manipulated the Constitution to increase the executive power of the presidency. Crapol also highlights Tyler's faith in America's national destiny and his belief that boundless territorial expansion would preserve the Union as a slaveholding republic. When Tyler sided with the Confederacy in 1861, he was branded as America's "traitor" president for having betrayed the republic he once led.

John Tyler, elected vice president under William Henry Harrison was the first vice president to succeed to the presidency when Harrison died only one month into his term. When Tyler vetoed bills passed by his Whig party in congress, his cabinet resigned, and he was expelled from the party, becoming the "President without a party," and was the target of violent demonstrations. After his wife died in the White House, Tyler courted and married Julia Gardiner, 30 years his junior, and she became the most admired White House hostess since Dolley Madison. His major accomplishment was the annexation of Texas, which he signed into law in the last week of his term. Book jacket.

These 35 men who have served as president have lived an average of 12 years after they left the White House. Time has obscured the fact that Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe and Ulysses S. Grant all died bankrupt. Or that John Tyler in his last days prepared to fight against the United States prior to the Civil War. The fascinating narratives in this book describe these shifts from public to private lives against the backdrop of the social and political currents of their day. All 35 deceased presidents are covered; those who died in office have their final weeks and days described. The scholar or general reader will learn as much about the presidents' personalities from their years of retirement as from their years in office. A poignant and meaningful body of history has now been assembled about the office of the president and the men who have served.
