This review is from: Franklin Pierce: America's 14th President (Encyclopedia of Presidents, Second) (Library Binding)

As a president who is popularly tied with Buchanan for the bottom of the barrel, it is refreshing that the volumne comes up with a story of interest. Even though this may be an obscure period for most of us, the bridge between the Revolution and the Civil War is represented in this story. Worth reading

3.0 out of 5 stars This is a children's book., October 31, 2009

This review is from: Franklin Pierce: America's 14th President (Encyclopedia of Presidents, Second) (Library Binding)

I'm reading one or two volumes on each of the U.S. Presidents. When I ordered this book, there were not as many choices of titles about Franklin Pierce as appear on Amazon now. This is a children's book and I didn't see a description of it as a children's book. However, the book has great pictures and a timeline as well as pictures and dates of all Presidents to G.W. Bush. This volume is a concise outline of Franklin Pierce's life with a few sentences devoted to each important event in his life. Very easy reading. Also included is a helpful list of online sites and titles for "more advanced reading".
