American Heritage History of the Presidents Washington to Van Buren by Bruce Catton Pdf

The best way to examine the presidency now, writes the Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Bruce Catton, "is to examine the lives and personalities of the men who have held it, because the presidency today is in many ways the sum of large and small contributions made by the different presidents." Here, in the first volume of American Heritage's history of presidents are the dramatic stories of the first eight men to hold the office: George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, John Quincy Adams, Andrew Jackson, and Martin Van Buren.

Summary of Bruce Catton's American Heritage History of the Presidents Washington to Van Buren by Everest Media, Pdf

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Because of the political slander and bile that marred Washington’s two administrations, the first president soon came to be regarded as a demigod. #2 George Washington was born in 1732, the first President of the United States. He was taught by his family and friends, and he was a man of hands rather than brains. He was, however, extremely practical. #3 George Washington was a very careful person, and he always followed the copybook ethic. He was very tall and lanky, with gray-blue eyes and brown hair. He was a magnificent horseman, and he knew every foot of land he owned. #4 Washington’s trip to the Ohio Valley in 1754 was to secure the site of the Ohio Company’s fort, which was being built at the junction of the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers. He learned that the site had fallen to the French, and that enemy troops were advancing toward him in strength. He surrendered, and signed a written admission that he had assassinated Jumonville.

The American Presidents, Washington to Tyler by Robert A. Nowlan Pdf

As of 2012, only 43 men have held the office of the President of the United States. Some have been sanctified and some reviled. This historical work addresses the careers of the first ten presidents, men who made vital contributions not only to the office of the presidency, but to the course of the fledgling nation. From Washington through Tyler, every term is recounted in detail and each presidential profile provides as many as a hundred quotations (with full source notes) by the president, his friends, family, historians, and others. Each profile ends with an extensive bibliography of books about the president, his principles and policies, and also provides suggestion for further reading. Rigorously nonpartisan in approach, this detail-rich text describes the early years of what may well be one of the most demanding jobs in the world.

Killing the President by Willard M. Oliver,Nancy E. Marion Pdf

This book offers an analysis of every American presidential assassination and various attempted assassinations, examining the events surrounding each event and the people involved. The assassinations and attempted assassinations of American presidents were pivotal events that reverberated throughout the nation, even in cases where the murder was botched. The individuals behind each plot are often fascinating studies in obsession and distorted perception of reality—like President James Garfield's assassin, who spent an extra dollar on the gun he chose for the act simply because it would look better in a museum display after the event. For the first time under one cover, this text offers a concise study of every presidential assassination, attempt, and rumor. Each chapter focuses on a single American assassination, providing an analysis of the president, the assassin, and the events that shaped their arrival at that place in time. The chapter then describes the assassination or attempt itself and the long-term impacts of the crime. Accounts of the more contemporary incidents involving Presidents John F. Kennedy, Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush especially demonstrate the evolution of the monumental task of protecting the U.S. president in a free and open society.
