A cunning way to learn history
As busy as he was with being President Of the United States, he took time to be genuinely interested in his children, their pets and projects; and encouraging and enjoying them. He used the word “cunning” quite often, but he didn’t realize that the letters would be collected and put into one book. Not only a treasure to his progeny, this book is a wonderful read for families. Although not a history book, it does shed fascinating first-hand light on events as the 19th century turned to the 20th.
