From his humble beginnings to his rise as the eighth President of the United States, Van Buren left an indelible mark on American politics. In 1848, during the height of political fervor, Captain M. V Bates led a grand rally for the Free Soil movement. This lithograph captures the energy and passion that surrounded this pivotal moment in American history. As we delve deeper into Van Buren's life, we encounter Angelica van Buren, depicted in an exquisite engraving.

Another engraving portrays Mrs. Martin van Buren herself – a woman who stood by her husband's side with unwavering support throughout their journey together. Traveling further north to St Leonards in New Brunswick, Canada, we find ourselves at a railroad station that witnessed countless arrivals and departures during Van Buren's time. It serves as a reminder of his international influence beyond just American borders. The siege comes alive through vibrant color lithography – depicting an event where courage prevailed against all odds. This artwork encapsulates not only historical significance but also showcases artistic talent from that era. "The freedom to fly. . " is beautifully captured in silhouette portrait form by William Henry Brown and E. B. , showcasing Van Buren's commitment to individual liberties cherished by Americans then and now. Amelia Van Buren steps into focus next - immortalized late in the 1880s by Thomas Eakins' brushstrokes. Her image reflects both strength and resilience; qualities undoubtedly inherited from her renowned ancestor. A presidential ticket from 1848 reminds us that it was alongside Charles Adams that Martin Van Buren sought re-election for another term – highlighting their shared vision for the nation's progress.
