Review # 1 was written on 2015-02-17 00:00:00 Daniel Nolin Woodrow Wilson was one of the most hardworking presidents the U.S. has ever had. However, everyone's life begins as a child. Wilson was born in a small house in the south of the year 1956. His father always had extremely high expectations of him. From a young age, Wilson had debating skills no other student had. During his teen and early adult years, the well educated Wilson took the next step up the ladder by attending the university that taught higher standards than any one else; Princeton. This was when Wilson had an ambition to become a lawyer and went to law school. Unfortunately, this was not the right career for him. It will take more for Woodrow Wilson to become what we know him as; the 28th president of the United States. The president that got us through the chaos of World War 1. This man's biography is immensely interesting. This is how a boy, born during the battles of the Civil War later became president. I recommend the book to anyone interested in U.S. history of all ages.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-09-28 00:00:00 Shameek Steele The Our Presidents Series is perfect for elementary and junior high age students learning about U.S. History. Each book chronologically covers the life of the featured president from birth to death. It also contains “interesting facts” that are clearly displayed in the margins, detailed timelines, a glossary, a complete list of our U.S. Presidents with details on each president, and additional Presidential facts and resources for further research. I did feel this particular edition on Woodrow Wilson was a little bit lacking compared to the rest of the series. Also there was a glaring error on page 32 that made me cringe. "On January 8, 1818, Wilson had an opportunity to speak to Congress about his ideas for world peace." No he didn't considering he was not alive in 1818; nor was he president, James Monroe was. The year should have been marked 1918. Considering this is a resource for students the decade discrepancy does make a huge difference.
