This is a bibliography of works about John Tyler, a governor of Virginia, and the tenth president of the United States.

John Tyler (March 29, 1790 – January 18, 1862) was the tenth president of the United States, serving from 1841 to 1845, after briefly holding office as the tenth vice president in 1841. He was elected vice president on the 1840 Whig ticket with William Henry Harrison and succeeded to the presidency following Harrison's death 31 days after taking office. Tyler was a staunch supporter of states' rights, including with regard to slavery, and adopted nationalist policies as president only when they did not infringe on state powers. His unexpected rise to the presidency threatened the presidential ambitions of Senator Henry Clay and other Whig politicians and left Tyler estranged from both major political parties of the time: the Whigs and the Democrats.

Tyler was a regional Whig vice-presidential nominee in the 1836 presidential election, which was won by Democrat Martin Van Buren. Four years later he was the party's sole nominee for vice president. Campaigning under the slogan "Tippecanoe and Tyler Too", the Harrison–Tyler ticket defeated Van Buren.

When the American Civil War began in 1861, Tyler sided with the Confederacy. He presided over the opening of the Virginia Secession Convention and served as a member of the Provisional Congress of the Confederate States. Tyler was subsequently elected to the Confederate House of Representatives but died before it convened.

Notes

  1. ↑ Tyler was vice president under President William Henry Harrison and became president upon Harrison's death on April 4, 1841. This was before the adoption of the Twenty-fifth Amendment in 1967, and a vacancy in the office of vice president was not filled until the next ensuing election and inauguration.
  2. ↑ More than 1,400 items dating from 1691 to 1918, chiefly correspondence to and from Tyler, together with papers of Julia Gardiner Tyler and the Gardiner family. Much of Tyler's correspondence was lost during the American Civil War; the surviving material was recovered by his son Lyon Gardiner Tyler and sold to the Library of Congress in 1919.
  3. ↑ Eleven linear feet (22 boxes), including Tyler's correspondence from 1818 to 1862 and the papers of Letitia Christian Tyler, Julia Gardiner Tyler and their children.
  4. ↑ Tyler's messages, veto messages and proclamations for April 4, 1841 – March 4, 1845 make up the second part of volume 4; that portion is separately available as a Project Gutenberg e-text.
  5. ↑ Volumes 1 and 2 were published by Whittet & Shepperson at Richmond, Virginia, in 1884; volume 3, issued as a supplement, appeared at Williamsburg, Virginia, in 1896. Compiled by Tyler's son from family papers, the work prints the texts of many letters that no longer survive in manuscript.
  6. ↑ Henry A. Wise represented Virginia in the House of Representatives during Tyler's presidency and led the small band of Tyler loyalists there known as the "Corporal's Guard". Tyler appointed him minister to Brazil in February 1844, a post he held until 1847.
