The Spring we  focused on former American Presidents as a family .  Here are some book  I read this Spring that have provided wonderful conversation for my son, hubby, daughter and me!

George Washington
Abraham Lincoln (mainly on the internet…articles)
Life in Colonial America
Abigail Adams
James Madison
The Rise and Fall of Theodore Roosevelt
Theodore Rex
John Adams
Founding Mothers
The First American (Ben Franklin…this book surprised me!)
John Quincy Adams
It’s been fascinating to read the history, intrigues, and amazing delicacy in which this nation was put together. You definitely get the impression it’s amazing America is here! Let me know if you are interested. I’m sorry I don’t have author names right by me…but my favorite is David McCollough and Edmund Morris.
