Book Review:
Benjamin F. Wright, Reviewing Carl B. Swisher’s The Taney Period, 1836-64, 53 TEXAS L. REV. 414 (1975).
 

Abstract:
In the fifth volume of the History of the Supreme Court, Mr. Swisher gives a detailed account of the major and minor cases that came before the Court during the Taney period. According to the reviewer, The Taney Period, along with the other volumes of the History, will set a new standard for the study of the Supreme Court. The reviewer notes several omissions and oversights, but concludes that critical comments are insignificant compared with the immense attention to detail exhibited in this “impressive” volume.
