Part guide book, part history, all great!!!! Did you know more presidents were born in Virginia than in any other state???!!! Even if you did, this is a great book to brush up on your presidential history. Learn about the presidents birthplaces, where they grew up and where these places are now. An unbiased look at such famous places such as Mount Vernon, Montpelier, Monticello, Woodrow Wilson’s Presidential library & museum and more. This book even explores homes of these presidents outside Virginia and other presidents who had homes in Virginia. A must for anyone into American history or presidential history or Virginia history or anyone traveling in Virginia, actually everyone should read this to learn more about our early president (I mean I had forgotten about John Tyler).
A must read!! Can’t wait to read more from this author.
