Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Diary of James K. Polk, Vol. 1 of 4: During His Presidency, 1845 to 1849 The consideration which induced Polk to keep a diary are sufficiently set forth by the President himself in the entry for August 26, 1846.He adhered to the resolution there described to preserve a daily record of the events of his administration with a fidelity which seems at times, in view of all the circumstances, little short of marvelous. The record thus made, covering the period from August 26, 1845, to J 2, 1849, comprises twenty-five closely written volumes of uniform size and style, containing each, with the exception of the last, which is incomplete, from one hundred to two hundred and fifty pages. Together with a mass of letters and miscellaneous papers preserved by the President, the Diary remained in the possession of the Polk family until 1901, when it was purchased by the Chicago Historical Society. It had been Mrs. Polk´s desire that some friendly contemporary of her husband should make use of the papers left by him to write an account of his life and administration, but this wish was never realized.
