Joined by my special guest, Dr. Max of the Poor Historians Podcast, we continue our journey through the life of William H Crawford, exploring his tenure as first head of the War Department then his longer tenure as Treasury Secretary. In addition to carrying out his official duties, we examine Crawford's involvement with larger political debates of the time and his two candidacies for the presidency.
