Everyone knows George Washington was our first president.  But do you know who was the first American-born president, not a British subject?  (It was Martin Van Buren.)
     Who was our 8th president?  The 19th?  The 34th?  What did they do?  What kind of people were they?
     Here you will find interesting facts about each of our 44 presidents to date (2011).  No need to wade through thick textbooks or reference stuff.  Here you find the facts -- and interesting trivia -- about people you probably only knew briefly in your school studies.

     No, this is not a soap opera.  This one of those (ugh) memoirs or sort of an autobiography.  But is not so much about the author, as about the many interesting people he has met along the way.  No Hollywood or television drama.
      The author takes the position that you don't make the trip through life alone, and your companions are often more interesting than you are.  It includes an inside look into newspapers, and some peeks into the military, television news and some other happenings.  
      Come along for the ride.
