Covers has rubs and corners and edges. Small piece of cloth on front cover is torn (see pics) 320 pages; Illustrations. . . . . . In this scarce volume, th…e full proceedings of the 1894 Washington, D.C. trial unfold, wherein Pollard, a young Kentucky woman of modest means, sued prominent Congressman William Campbell Preston Breckinridge for breach of promise after a nearly decade-long relationship. Pollard alleged that the widowed Civil War veteran and influential Kentucky Democrat had repeatedly promised to marry her?fathering a child in the process?only to wed another. The trial, which gripped the nation with its revelations of seduction, broken vows, and political hypocrisy, featured dramatic testimony and ended in a landmark victory for Pollard. This 320-page contemporary record captures the complete trial transcripts, biographies of the key figures, portraits, and illustrations, offering readers a vivid window into Victorian-era gender dynamics, power imbalances in Washington society, and the rare public reckoning faced by a powerful man. Compiled directly by the plaintiff, it remains a compelling and historically significant artifact for collectors of legal history, Gilded Age Americana, or Kentucky political lore?widely regarded as documenting one of the most noted breach-of-promise cases in American court annals.
