Calvin Coolidge on The Founders: Reflections on The American Revolution & The Founding Fathers

Calvin Coolidge on The Founders: Reflections on The American Revolution & The Founding Fathers

0/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
In these pages Silent Cal Coolidge focuses his famed terse eloquence on the nation's founders, not merely on George Washington's indispensable figure but also on the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, Alexander Hamilton, Washington's fellow Virginia patriots, the Battles of Bunker Hill, Princeton, and Trenton, Ethan Allen's Green Mountain Boys, Boston's Old North Church, Methodist Episcopal Bishop Francis Asbury, and the pivotal role Jewish Americans played in winning of our freedoms. No modern president has spoken so much-or so well-of America's providential genesis.
Coolidge transforms mere history into a history lesson.

Sarah "one of our most underrated presidents . . . Americans are awakening again to the wisdom of President Coolidge . . ."
"He wrote simply, innocently, artlessly," H. L. Mencken once noted regarding Coolidge's prose, "He forgot all the literary affectations and set down his ideas exactly as they came into his head. The result was a bald, but strangely appealing piece of writing—a composition of almost Lincolnian austerity and beauty. The true Vermonter was in every line of it."
Tim Naftali, Director of the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and "If you want to it's Coolidge versus [Franklin D.] Roosevelt in dealing with the economy."
Says author Tucker S. Garland "The two most successful Republican presidents in the last century were Calvin Coolidge and Ronald Reagan."
Says author Amity "Reagan himself admired Coolidge. It's time the rest of us did too."
Mark "If you're like me and your idea of a conservative president is Calvin Coolidge . . ."
Will Cain "Calvin Coolidge is my favorite president."
