The Autobiography of Calvin Coolidge

1929Calvin Coolidge

4.8/5

Very enlightening glimpse into the life of an often ignored president. I really enjoyed how he innocently incorporated his religious beliefs into all that he did. He didn't even know that "he wasn't supposed to do that" (at least by today's flawed standards), let alone quote scripture to make his point. Now Coolidge wasn't perfect, but he was very principled and wise. He served during a time where transportation was very slow, speeches weren't written for him, and everything was done using technology of the 1920's. He humbly refused to run for reelection after serving 6 years (he was VP when Harding died in office) even though he was a sure bet to win. He worked hard and believed that everyone should work hard. He had a clear wisdom regarding debt that we should adhere to today. Don't get into debt, yet if there is a national emergency, pay off the debt as soon as possible.This book will accompany well, the biography called Calvin Coolidge by David Greenberg.
