Meet Calvin Coolidge:
The Man Behind the Myth

Edited by Edward Connery Lathem

Meet Calvin Coolidge, the Man Behind the Myth has been republished with a handsome new gray cover of a dashing Calvin Coolidge almost walking out of the cover’s photograph.

The book was originally published in 1960 and contains eyewitness accounts of the presidential years, retirement, and final assessments. Read the book to find out why public relations expert Bruce Barton said that Coolidge “made all political observers stop, look and listen.” Find out why such different people as the humorist Will Rogers and the Democratic Governor of New York, Al Smith, admired the Republican President born in Vermont.

The Presidency of Calvin Coolidge

Robert H. Ferrell 1998 University Press of Kansas

"Robert Ferrell, one of America’s most deservedly acclaimed presidential historians, continues his surprising excavation of the 1920s with a portrait of Calvin Coolidge that somehow manages to be both sympathetic and uncompromising. Coolidge here emerges for the first time as a three dimensional figure, a man of genuine idealism, powerful emotions, a coherent if limited philosophy of government. A deeply researched and elegantly written reappraisal." ( Richard Norton Smith)
