The eleventh volume of the Correspondence of James K. Polk contains
some of the most consequential and interesting material in the
series. Failure to restore diplomatic relations with Mexico, the
advent of the Mexican-American war, British preparations for war
over the Oregon country, the signing of the Oregon Treaty, passage
of key domestic legislation, and Democratic losses in the fall
state and congressional elections dominate the military and
political subjects of the correspondence.
In prior volumes, Polk's letters focused almost entirely on
politics and so left his private concerns largely untreated.
Writing from the President's House, he made press copies of all of
his outgoing correspondence and so recorded a more expansive range
of his interests. Letters relating to his extended family, his
purchase of a Nashville residence, and his addition of slaves to
his Mississippi plantation offer a more personal view of the
nation's eleventh president.
