It seems that every time a presidential election rolls around in America, voters are told that the nation is at a critical fork in its history, and that the decisions reached and the candidates elected will change the course of history. While this is always true to some extent, there are times when it is true to a critical extent. Such was the case in 1876, when the country, weary of four years of Civil War and more than a decade of Reconstruction, was once again on the brink of splitting.

Would you try another book from Charles River Editors and/or Scott Clem?
I wrote my thesis on the election of 1848 so my knowledge might be a little more extensive than most but as soon as I heard the line "Grant was the least politically experienced President up to this point" I turned it off. Zachary Taylor would like to say "hold my beer." Taylor literally could barely write. He was considered a buffoon of a general and his only political experience was being the cousin of a former President. Also the person who narrates this pronounces Rutherford wrong EVERY SINGLE TIME. He pronounces it ROOTHAFORD which just blows my mind that some how got past the editing phase. It isn't a big deal but when the focus of the entire book is on this person, at the very least get the pronunciation correct. I feel I was generous with 3 stars but really this was bad.
