The Tribune Almanac And Political Register For 1889

By Edward McPherson

Step into the engine room of American democracy in 1889. The Tribune Almanac And Political Register for 1889 captures a nation arguing, voting, organising, and governing in real time. Facts. Names. Votes. Power. Change. Edited by Edward McPherson, this political almanac annual is both a historical political register and a government reference handbook, gathering the details readers reached for: US election returns, shifting majorities, and the evolving shape of federal power. It is built for quick consultation yet rewarding for long reading, revealing how politics sounded, looked, and measured itself in the United States 1880s. Within its compiled tables and summaries you will find congressional membership lists, party standings, and political facts and figures that map the era from the Capitol to the ballot box. For scholars it remains a primary source for historians of nineteenth century political history and gilded age America; for family researchers it offers anchors for genealogy and local history, situating ancestors, towns, and constituencies inside the wider national story. Collectors of an American politics reference collection will value its period voice: the confidence of statistics, the urgency of contested elections, the sense of a republic keeping score. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. Keep it on the desk for answers, or on the shelf for the pleasure of holding a working document from the age it records.
