James Monroe, a patriot soldier, a diplomat who underwent bitter experiences, a statesman in the formative period of the Union and the intimate associate of its founders. Where was he bred? Where schooled? What did he do to help win the first and second wars of independence? Why was he twice chosen President and why, especially, did he enunciate, the rule applicable to the whole western hemisphere, associated with his name? This study of James Monroe and his times will help commemorate his presidency.
