Hw Wilson Co. | 2001 | PDF
Includes a biographical chapter on each president, plus a statistical section with comparative information on such areas as religion, family histories, and education.
THE PRESIDENTS of the United States, from George Washington to George W. Bush, are subjects of continuing popular interest and scholarly research. About these forty-two men countless books have been published—individual biographies, collective biographies, academic studies, political analyses, pictorial histories. Facts About the Presidents is a compilation that presents, in one volume, data concerning the Presidents’ lives, backgrounds, and terms in office, as well as information about the office itself. It would not be possible, obviously, to cover in one book every known fact about every President, but the facts most likely to be sought by the general reader are included.
In Part I a chapter is devoted to each President in the chronological order in which he took office. The data in these chapters are arranged uniformly. A genealogical compilation presents vital material about the President’s parents, brothers and sisters, wives, and children. Family history is followed by data on elections, congressional sessions, cabinet and Supreme Court appointments, and the Vice President, as well as highlights of the President’s life and
administration.
In Part II material is presented in comparative form, with collective data and statistics on the Presidents and on the office of the presidency.
It should also be noted that many dates disagree with those previously printed. Such discrepancies do not necessarily indicate that the dates presented here are incorrect; the others may be in error. Should further research bring primary sources to light to contradict any of the dates in Facts About the Presidents, we will appreciate hearing of these documents so that they may be examined to determine whether the new data should be included in future editions.
In this seventh edition, the information in Part I and Part II has been brought up to date as of June 2001.
