The Honest American Voter's Little Catechism for 1880

"The Honest American Voter's Little Catechism for 1880" by Blythe Harding is a sharp, satirical look at the American political scene of the 1880s. Presented as a conversation, the book cleverly dissects the presidential election and the American government. Harding uses wit to criticize political figures and the perceived corruption within political parties, holding up General Hancock's integrity against James Garfield's questionable reputation. With an ironic tone, the book questions the motives of politicians and urges American voters to participate honestly in their democracy.
