The purpose of this paper is to examine the political career of Harry St. George Tucker of Virginia, 1888-1932. Tucker's career was distinguished primarily by its length. It began as Reconstructicn faded and concluded as the New Deal began. The paper concerns Tucker's lifelong advocacy of states' rights, which lends continuity to his otherwise fragmented career. Tucker's career divides into three sections: his first years in Congress (1888-1896), the intermediate years (1897-1921), and his final years in Congress (1922-1932). [From Introduction]
