5.0 out of 5 stars
Just the ticket for a short review of US history,
By Bernard M. Patten "Book worm" (Seabrook, TX United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Our Presidents: Their Lives & Stories (Paperback)
I got this book because the author's book on the first ladies and their stories was so interesting. This one has a similar format with short historically accurate stories about Washington to Bush, each accompanied by a picture or two, most of which are in color. For a short review of the history of the United States, this is the ticket. Want to know about the XYZ affair, or Teapot Dome, the Fall guy, or President Wilson's wife running the government after his stroke? It's all here and more. And how about the interesting fact that three of the first five presidents died on the 4th of July (Adams, Jefferson, and Monroe.) Quite a coincidence, but interesting in view of the fact that recent medical research shows you are more likely to die on a day (like your birthday) that has real emotional significance for you. The sad fact is that our present president doesn't measure up in any manner, shape, or form to those who occupied the office before him. HL Mencken predicted that someday the American people would elect a moron president. That day appears to have arrived.
