The Americas
Hardback. During the long decade from 1848 to 1861 America was like a train speeding down the track, without an engineer or brakes.

This book examines these issues. Editor(s): Finkelman, Paul; Kennon, Donald R. Series: Perspective History of Congress 1801-1877. Num Pages: 264 pages, Illustrations, maps.
