John Tyler: A Bibliography Moser, Harold D.

At a crucial time in American history, John Tyler -- elected vice president on the Whig ticket -- became president upon the death of William Henry Harrison. The nation, after expanding across the continent, was suffering from sectional tensions, Indian conflicts, issues over slavery, and economic problems. Tyler's becoming president created a crisis for Whigs, who questioned his intentions, his past record, and his irregular political alliances. Soon, the course he set was unacceptable to both Whigs and Jacksonian Democrats. His presidency has not received extensive scholarly study, but as this bibliography reveals, primary materials are abundant. The bibliography provides an excellent beginning for those wishing to research Tyler and this critical period in American history.
