When it comes to the conservative movement in America, Alfred S. Regnery has seen it all. He has watched conservatism go from a shining idea held by a few in response to an overwhelming liberal ascendancy to a mainstream ideology stoutly defended by millions of Americans -- and he has seen it up close and personal. Now, in Upstream: The Ascendance of American Conservatism, he tells the story of that historic movement as no one else can.

Few contemporary Americans know that James Fenimore Cooper (1789-1851), best known for his creation of Natty Bumppo and the Leatherstocking Tales, also wrote profound social criticism of the Jacksonian era.

This edition, the latest installment in the Club's Conservative Leadership Series, is the first to combine all three works -- the entirety of Letter and The American Democrat, and numerous excerpts from Notions. read more

With the conservative movement attracting new members as never before, the need for a balanced, readable and up-to-date anthology of the best that has been thought and said by the movement's leading figures is urgent. And with the question of what -- and who -- is a "true" conservative being vigorously (sometimes viciously) debated, it is helpful to be reminded that disagreement about the answer is nothing new.
