Description

SKU: 14487003 <

For each of the 366 days of the year, Brandus offers little-known, fascinating facts, historical anecdotes, and pithy quotations from and about the 45 presidents of the United States - from George Washington to Donald Trump.

There are stories that span war and peace, sex and scandal, frivolity and tragedy-and everything in between. Some of the included stories are:

  • Night Abraham Lincoln and John Wilkes Booth met at Ford's Theatre - 17 months before Booth's crime
  • Advice Richard Nixon gave Donald Trump
  • President who immediately went to bed after his swearing in
  • Only president to be censured by the U.S. Senate
  • President who gambled away the White House china
  • Joyriding teens who crashed into the president's car - and lived to tell the tale
  • Secret swearing in

This Day in Presidential History will surprise its readers with the inside information that Brandus has uncovered in his years on the White House beat.
