HYBRID Presidents Book Group
NOTE WE ARE MEETING ON THE 5TH MONDAY THIS MONTH!
The Presidential Book Group is reading in chronological order and this month we are on James Buchanan.
Choose from:
- The American Presidents series book: James Buchanan by Jean Baker
- The University of Kansas Press book: The Presidency of James Buchanan by Elbert B. Smith
- Worst. President. Ever: James Buchanan, the POTUS Rating Game, and the Legacy of the Least of the Lesser Presidents by Robert Strauss.
In this group you will deepen your understanding of the American presidency as we trace the history of the presidency, beginning with George Washington, and watching how American democracy evolved in ways the Founders never anticipated. We'll follow how presidents, both celebrated and forgotten, grappled with slavery, economics, executive power and America's role in the world. In doing so, we'll broaden our knowledge of Coolidge and where his presidency fits in the American story.
The group meets on the 4th Monday of the month at 6:30 PM EST, which you can attend in person in the Coolidge Museum or on Zoom. Discussions will be facilitated by Bill Scher, vice president of the museum’s Standing Committee.
