As a hobbyist and collector of American presidential memorabilia, Dr. Allen Frey has assembled a chronological, visual summary of every presidential election. Photographs of over 500 authentic historical items from his collection present a pictoral summary of the personalities, themes, slogans and issues of our nations elections. An accompanying concise summary describes the major features of each election and offers interesting facts about many of the campaign items that were utilized.
