31 ROADS TO THE WHITE HOUSE

By

Publisher: Nelson

Brief biographies of the boyhoods of the Presidents of the U.S., fact and anecdotal material combined to illustrate the formation of character which made their leadership possible. Ancestry, parental influences, schooling, if any, and occasional mention of their contributions after they came into office -- when the contributions were significant. There is no attempt to give the other side of the picture, when the influences of the chief executives were negligible or harmful to the country. Unrealized potential of historical and inspirational value.
