Book Overview

Author Jeff C. Young explores the troubled life of our fourteenth president. Pierce was born in a log cabin in Hillsborough, New Hampshire, to deeply patriotic parents.

Believing that the Constitution allowed for slavery, Pierce did not take a stand against it for the sake of preserving the Union. As a result, Pierce lost popularity.
