American political leaders
I usually prefer to read Presidential biographies to learn about the policies which shaped America’s great success (such as President Ronald Reagan’s Cold War policy), hindered America (such as FDR’s New Deal), or left disappointing results (such as President Lyndon Johnson’s Great Society Program). In “Which President Killed a Man?†I find none of this but still found interesting and fascinating information about the leaders of this great country.
Here are a few examples:
President James Garfield was able to write Greek with his right hand and Latin with his left hand while speaking German.
“The Star Spangled Banner†became our National Anthem in 1917 due to President Woodrow Wilson’s executive order.
President Calvin Coolidge would relax by translating Dante’s Inferno from Medieval Latin to English.
President George Washington has one state, seven mountains, eight streams, ten lakes, thirty-three counties, and one hundred twenty- one towns and villages named for him.
There are hundreds of more anecdotes in this book.
