<p>[QUOTE="Jon L, post: 4414582, member: 64167"]The resource list at the top of the forum is a good start. Here's a trick to cut through the chaff to get to the wheat. Lets say you're looking for campaign books of Ulysses S. Grant. You know he was elected in 1868 and re-elected in 1872. Using the bookseller site's search function, put in "Ulysses" and "Grant" in the key word field. Put in "1868" in the year published field (campaign books were only published in the election year). Hit search and see what comes up. Repeat with the year "1872". If you want general biographies as well, date range 1865-1880. There's LOTS of Grant stuff out there so its still quite affordable, unlike other campaign books covering Lincoln or William Henry Harrison. Feel free to private message me for a deeper discussion. Good hunting!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
