I reviewed material relating to the Swartwout-Hoyt scandal and found it full of errors. The book says Swartwout stole $2.25 million, but the audit showed $1.25 million, and later studies have shown that it was less than $400,000. The defalcation surfaced in 1838, not 1841. The bibliography proves the 1841 error citing an 1839 Congressional study. Many other errors and omissions for the Swartwout-Hoyt entry. Such an expensive book owes it to readers to be accurate.

........ An odd description itself, but looking at the "preview" for all copies shows as blank.

The book seems to not be there
