Description :

NOTE: WE ARE MEETING ON THE 5TH MONDAY THIS MONTH The Presidential Book Group is reading in chronological order and this month we are on Ulysses S. Grant Choose from American Ulysses: A Life of Ulysses S. Grant by Ronald C. White (available in print or eBook) or Grant by Ron Chernow (available in print, large print, CD audio, eAudio, eBook) In this group you will deepen your understanding of the American presidency as we trace the history of the presidency, beginning with George Washington, and watching how American democracy evolved in ways the Founders never anticipated. We'll follow how presidents, both celebrated and forgotten, grappled with slavery, economics, executive power and America's role in the world. In doing so, we'll broaden our knowledge of Coolidge and where his presidency fits in the American story. The group meets on the 4th Monday of the month at 6:30 PM EST, which you can attend in person in the Coolidge Museum or on Zoom. Discussions will be facilitated by Bill Scher, vice president of the museum’s Standing Committee. Email Coolidge@forbeslibrary.org to join the email list or for more information.
