Grand Old Partisan honors Frederick Woodbridge, born in Vermont, August 29th 1818. The young attorney entered politics as councilman and mayor of his small town. Next came several terms in the legislature. He also managed a railroad.
During the Civil War, Woodbridge won the first of three terms in the U.S. House of Representatives. Among the GOP achievements receiving his vote were the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments, the 1866 Civil Rights Act, and the purchase of Alaska.

"This is the most amazing book about politics that I have ever read. The Overview should be required reading for anyone with even a minor interest in government. The remainder is an enthralling history lesson that I will never forget. For years, we have all been misled about the true nature of the GOP. This is the real deal! Read it and be proud!"
"Michael Zak wrote the definitive history of the GOP."
"Back to Basics for the Republican Party is the most significant contribution to the Republican Party in the last twenty years apart from Ronald Reagan."
"Back to Basics for the Republican Party is more important to our party now than ever before."
