Presidential Peculiarities, Foibles and Facts

Über dieses Buch
Every four years Americans go to the polls to elect a leader, someone serious, distinguished, respectable, with perfect sobriety and moral standing who will serve as a paragon for the rest of us.
But presidents and their families are people too—with quirks and character flaws like everyone else... and they have plenty of skeletons rattling around in their closets. Oval Office Oddities is a grand compendium of fascinating, sometimes embarrassing presidential facts, gaffes, and oddball behaviors—available in plenty of time for Election Day!
Mary Todd Lincoln had an endearing little clothing fetish... and once purchased 300 pairs of gloves in a single month!
No Commander in Chief bothered to visit neglected California until Rutherford B. Hayes did in 1880.
Crazy Jack: Many prominent leaders were absolutely convinced that John Adams was stark raving bonkers!
Oval Office Oddities is jam-packed with amusing anecdotes and offbeat information presented in a way that makes our nation's history accessible, relevant, and entertaining.
