Summary | "Life of James Buchanan, Fifteenth President of the United States, v. 2 (of 2)" by George Ticknor Curtis is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book provides an in-depth exploration of the life and presidency of James Buchanan, focusing on significant political events and personal correspondences during his career. The narrative delves into Buchanan’s relationships, political maneuvers, and the national atmosphere leading up to the Civil War. The opening of the work sets the scene in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where Buchanan acquires Wheatland, a comforting estate that becomes his permanent residence when not engaged in public service. This section introduces Buchanan's character through his correspondence regarding the purchase, showcasing his respect for political opponents and his intent to retire from political life after leaving office in 1849. However, it hints at the complexity of his engagement in politics during a turbulent time, indicating that Buchanan's public life was far from over as events unfolded around him. The detailed recounting of his correspondence reveals both his personal life and the pressing political context of the era, setting the stage for his later actions and the challenges faced during his presidency.
