This was an oddly delightful little slip of a book. Less than 250 pages, it recounts the 1953 road trip President and Mrs Truman took from Independence, MO to DC and NYC and back after he left the White House. They went completely alone, with no security, which would be unheard of today. The author traced the trip and collected anecdotes from those who remember seeing the Trumans on their trip. A nice little snap shot of America in the 50s.

Oh the irony. Who knew the architect of the Vietnam war invented seat belts in cars when he worked for Ford? I sure didn‘t.

Texreader Wow that‘s shocking! The things you learn while reading…🤔 3y
Ericalambbrown @Texreader Right? I told someone who‘s a history nerd at work today and they said “nuh uh!” 😂 3y

I loved this book. Who whole imagine a Former President of the United States and the First Lady , getting in their car and taking a road trip and for the most part being unrecognized
