Battlefield Presidents: Zachary Taylor and Benjamin Harrison and Their America

<p>This book is a remarkable story of two heroes whose careers led them to the White House. Zachary Taylor and Benjamin Harrison were cousins who shared much in common. From their childhood in the Ohio Valley, through schooling and military exploits, both shared similar political views. Taylor and Harrison also experienced triumph and tragedy. The author examines the lives of each man and takes a look at their families and administrations. Though neither man may be considered a great chief executive, both made valuable contributions that have been ignored or forgotten. Additionally, American society, culture, demographics, events, and lifestyles during their presidency are examined.</p>

An amiable compendium of presidential trivia, this contains lively, humanizing facts that could go far in sparking flagging classroom discussion. Presidents and their tenures appear at the start. A lengthy quiz section poses questions such as "Who was the youngest president to take office?" (it wasn't JFK) or "Which president took the oath of office on Wall Street in New York City?" Anecdotes and odd facts follow, along with matching games involving topics such as presidential nicknames, pets, or signatures. There are also lists (admittedly subjective) of the best, worst, most unlucky, or smartest presidents. Illustrated with occasional cartoons.
