About the Author

Edward Sylvester Ellis was an American author born in Ohio in 1840. He was a teacher, school administrator, journalist and the author of hundreds of publications written under his own name and several pseudonyms. Ellis is probably best known for his Deer Hunter novels that were widely read by young boys up until the 1950's. After writing fiction for over thirty years, Ellis changed his focus in the mid 1880's. He began composing more serious work of biography and history. Ellis died at Cliff Island, Maine at the age of 76.

Great to read some about a president who was a thinker and had the right ideas about our country. The politicians back then were people who actually cared about our country and the long-term stabiltiy of it instead of what was in it for them! They were smart enough to know what was good for the country would be good for them instead of getting what was good for them at the expense of the country. If some of our current politicians were alive back then, they would have been wearing red coats.

I did enjoy the book but I found it jumping around quite a bit. I know people say some of the facts you have heard before, but being a history nut some of the content I never heard of. You will find the book entertaining but as I said it does jump around a little to much. Overall based on content I found this book interesting.

Contained some basic facts. Too much info about Adams as if the author was lacking the content to write the biography. No real interesting stories you would not see in any of the bios written by other authors. Some of the olde English words aren't in either of dictionaries included with the Kindle. Price: Free (five stars for price).
