Andrew Johnson: A Study in Courage Part 1 is a biography written by Lloyd Paul Stryker. The book is a comprehensive account of the life of Andrew Johnson, the 17th President of the United States. The book is divided into two parts, with Part 1 covering Johnson's early life and political career up to his ascension to the presidency in 1865.The book begins with Johnson's humble beginnings in North Carolina, where he was born into poverty and received little formal education. Despite his humble beginnings, Johnson developed a keen interest in politics and became involved in local politics at a young age. He eventually moved to Tennessee, where he established himself as a successful politician and was elected to several positions, including governor and senator.The book also covers Johnson's views on slavery and his role in the Civil War. Johnson was a strong supporter of states' rights and was initially opposed to the abolition of slavery. However, as the war progressed, he became more sympathetic to the cause of the Union and eventually became a staunch supporter of abolition.The book concludes with Johnson's ascension to the presidency following the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. Johnson faced numerous challenges during his presidency, including the reconstruction of the South and the impeachment proceedings against him. Despite these challenges, Johnson remained committed to his principles and demonstrated great courage in the face of adversity.Overall, Andrew Johnson: A Study in Courage Part 1 is a well-researched and engaging biography that provides a fascinating insight into the life of one of America's most controversial presidents.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
