The American Secretaries of State and their diplomacy por Samuel Flagg Bemis
we have vols. 1-11, 14-16, 18
1100 John Quincy Adams and the Foundation of American Foreign Policy, by Samuel Flagg Bemis (read 21 Dec 1970) (Pulitzer Biography prize for 1950) This covers sort of the same territory as George Dangerfield's The Era of Good Feelings--and in fact is not as interestingly put together as is that great book. But I will read the second volume.
1101 John Quincy Adams and the Union, by Samuel Flagg Bemis (read 12 Jan 1971) This is the second of Bemis' two-volume biography of John Quincy Adams. He was elected to the House of Representatives in 1830 and served till his death on Feb 23, 1848. Two-thirds of this book is about his service in the House, and it is by far the most interesting part of the second volume. It is a tremendous life, and the diary made it rather easy to write, I'd think. I am tremendously impressed by the Adams life, and these books by Bemis are very worthwhile.… (mais)
2373 Pinckney's Treaty: A Study of America's Advantage From Europe's Distress 1783-1800, by Samuel Flagg Bemis, Ph.D. (read 27 Mar 1991) (Pulitzer History prize in 1927) This is a really interesting account of the 1795 treaty between the USA and Spain whereby Spain gave up its claim to land north of the Florida and east of the Mississippi. It is written in a nice old-fashioned patriotic way. A good book, which makes me want to read more Pulitzer history winners.
