Description: 112 pages : illustrations ; 23 cm.
In the late 1800s, a time of powerful political bosses and widespread corruption in business and government, Grover Cleveland stood out as a man of integrity. His reputation for fairness and honesty helped propel his meteoric rise from mayor of Buffalo, New York, to president in just three years. He was the only president to have served two nonconsecutive terms in office-and the only one to get married in the White House. Although Cleveland lacked a strong vision, he led with dignity and fought diligently for what he saw as right.
