Book Review

Minority Victory: Gilded Age Politics and the Front Porch Campaign of 1888. By Charles W. Calhoun. (Lawrence: University Press of Kansas, 2008. xii, 243 pp. $29.95, ISBN 978-0-7006-1596-4.)

Charles W. Calhoun has produced a finely crafted examination of one of the late nineteenth century's most underappreciated campaigns—the presidential election of 1888. The author makes a strong argument that the Republican Benjamin Harrison's campaign pointed the way toward gop dominance of American politics in the early twentieth century. His campaign helped pioneer active personal participation of the candidate, strong campaign organization, activist/interventionist economic policies, abundant campaign financing, and party coordination with the prospective beneficiaries of the candidate's proposals.
