Ordinary Man: The Surprising Life and Historic Presidency of Gerald R. Ford | Richard Norton Smith

pick

This is my most recent stop on my quest read a biography of every President. My thought that President Ford, our only unelected President, was amongst our most decent and ethical was bolstered by this book. Very interesting read if this sort if history is your thing.

Bookwormjillk Thanks! His house when he was a congressman is in my neighborhood and I‘ve been wanting to read a book about him. 1y

Ericalambbrown @Bookwormjillk I felt like this was a wonderfully even handed biography. There‘s a lot about his time in Congress, so give it a go maybe! I plan to visit his libraries after reading this. 💕 1y

Eggs Great goal!! 1y

Bookwormjillk @Ericalambbrown we went to Grand Rapids this summer and it was super interesting. Even my kids liked it. (My 12 year old daughter said “I love a coverup” 🤣) 1y

Ericalambbrown @Bookwormjillk Hahaha!!!! That‘s funny 1y

Ericalambbrown @fredthemoose this book was fantastic and it‘s about one of our lesser know presidents, James A Garfield

Destiny of the Republic: A Tale of Madness, Medicine and the Murder of a President

Ericalambbrown @fredthemoose Sure! This is not a comprehensive biography but it‘s s fun little book about Truman‘s post presidency years.

Harry Truman's Excellent Adventure: The True Story of a Great American Road Trip

fredthemoose @Ericalambbrown Fun! I just listened to the McCullough book about Truman a couple of months ago. This sounds like a fun add-on. 1y

The Man Who Ran Washington: The Life and Times of James A. Baker III | Peter Baker, Susan Glasser

Recounting is a thing. You can challenge anything you want. The question is do you know when to stop? President Gerald Ford could‘ve fought for recounts in close states, but he didn‘t want to be the president who had the electoral college but not the popular vote. #themanwhoranwashington #geraldford #jamesbaker #susanglasser #elections #uspolitics #ushistory #history #politicalscience #electoralcollege #popularvote #recount
