The Presidential Book Group is reading in chronological order and this month we are on Warren G. Harding. Choose from the following titles:

• Warren G. Harding by John Dean
• The Presidency of Warren G. Harding by Eugene P. Trani and David L. Wilson
• The Shadow of Blooming Grove by Francis Russell
• The Jazz Age President: Defending Warren G. Harding by Ryan S. Walters
• Dead Last: The Public Memory of Warren G. Harding's Scandalous Legacy by Phillip G. Payne

In this group you will deepen your understanding of the American presidency as we trace the history of the presidency, beginning with George Washington, and watching how American democracy evolved in ways the Founders never anticipated. We'll follow how presidents, both celebrated and forgotten, grappled with slavery, economics, executive power and America's role in the world. In doing so, we'll broaden our knowledge of Coolidge and where his presidency fits in the American story. 

The group meets on the 4th Monday of the month at 6:30 PM EST, which you can attend in person in the Coolidge Museum or on Zoom. Discussions will be facilitated by Bill Scher, vice president of the museum’s Standing Committee.
