New This Month in New York History - July 2024
New in paperback this month in New York history, Alton B. Parker: The Man Who Challenged Roosevelt, by Bradley C. Nahrstadt, provides a fascinating and in-depth look into the life, career and legacy of one of the most important New Yorkers of the Gilded Age.
"An excellent, long-overdue study of one of the most prominent judicial statesmen of his era, Chief Judge of the New York State Court of Appeals, Democratic presidential nominee in 1904, and senior judicial and political leader." — Bruce Dearstyne, author of The Spirit of New York and The Crucible of Public Policy
"Contributes to our understanding of …[the] factions within the Democratic Party … [This] biography fills a scholarly niche that should make it useful to later research efforts.” — Andre P. Audette, Monmouth College
"The first biography of a major party presidential candidate, who has largely been lost to the annals of history… [which] adds to American political, legal, and economic history.” — Tobias T. Gibson, Westminster College (Missouri)
Happy reading and come back and see what's new next month!
