By the age of twentytwo Miclke had immersed himself in politics, and his activities provide a view not only into daytoday local affairs but also into the Democratic National Convention of 1844. He relates meetings with many prominent figures of his day, including Presidents Van Buren, Tyler, and Polk and writers Orestes Brownson and Ralph Waldo Emerson.A Gentleman of Much Promise is at once a private and a public history.
