The American Presidents, Washington to Tyler: What They Did, What They Said, What Was Said About Them

摘要

Robert A. Nowlan has written an informative, interesting and entertaining reference book about America's first ten Presidents from George Washington to John Tyler. This is not a sometimes typical reference volume on these men with dry facts, and figures but little humanity. The author's intention was to write a work that is "more factual than analytical" as well as offering the reader unique insights into these men's personal lives, political and religious beliefs, events and decisions that shaped their presidencies and much more. Among the things that differentiate this work from other treatments of these Presidents, is not only the depiction of their accomplishments, both professional and personal, but the busting of myths, things we learned in school, about each man, with a uniqueness that is refreshing.
