{"product_id":"2940150371118","title":"Union Portraits","description":"In his day Gamaliel Bradford was regarded as the \"Dean of American Biographers.\" Which makes it remarkable that his wonderful book on important figures of the American Civil War of the Union side is so hard to find. He was the American pioneer of the psychographic form of written biographies, focusing on the study of personality, values, opinions, attitudes, interests, and lifestyles, instead of strictly the events of someone's life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this volume, Bradford profiles nine men who were central to the history of the Civil War period. Some you know well, like William Seward, Edwin Stanton, General Sherman, and General McClellan. Others may be less well-known to you, like Samuel Bowles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBradford wrote 114 biographies over a period of 20 years and like all of them, this one does not disappoint in its fascinating perspectives and focus.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor less than you'd spend on gas going to the library, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBe sure to LOOK INSIDE by clicking the cover above or download a sample.","brand":"Big Byte Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47164650193136,"sku":"2940150371118","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940150371118_p0.jpg?v=1763743577","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940150371118","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
