| Summary |
"The Cleveland Era: A Chronicle of the New Order in Politics" by Henry Jones Ford is a historical account written in the early 20th century. It examines the political landscape and transformations in the United States during the late 19th century, particularly focusing on the presidency of Grover Cleveland and the significant shifts in party dynamics and policies that characterized this era. The book likely explores themes of political corruption, the evolving role of the presidency, and the challenges faced by health governance. The beginning of this work sets the stage by discussing the political disarray following the Civil War and Reconstruction, portraying how politicians underestimated the enduring impact of these historical events. The narrative introduces key political figures from both the Republican and Democratic parties and highlights their struggles and varied strategies in navigating a complex political climate marked by shifting allegiances. Ford uses these discussions to suggest the necessity for reform in governmental structures and party practices, showcasing the underlying tensions that defined this transition period leading up to Cleveland's administration.
