Silent Cal’s Almanack: The Homespun Wit and Wisdom of Vermont’s Calvin Coolidge
By David Pietrusza [Learn more at Amazon.com]
From the Publisher
A treasury of the wit and wisdom of Calvin Coolidge, America’s surprisingly eloquent 30th President. Silent Cal’s Almanack includes: * The ultimate distillation of Calvin Coolidge political wisdom. * A selection of Silent Cal’s key speeches. * A thought-provoking original biographical essay. * A fascinating and unique 50-page portfolio of Coolidge photos, editorial cartoons and campaign memorabilia. * A Coolidge timeline. * A Coolidge bibliography. “He wrote simply, innocently, artlessly,” H. L. Mencken once noted regarding Coolidge’s prose, “He forgot all the literary affectations and set down his ideas exactly as they came into his head. The result was a bald, but strangely appealing piece of writing-a composition of almost Lincolnian austerity and beauty. The true Vermonter was in every line of it.” Supreme Court Justice David Souter recently wrote of Calvin Coolidge: “The simple beauty of his English prose exceeds anything I could say in praise of it.”
