The memories described in this book reflect not only how eleven
American Presidents remembered what happened to them in their
youth, but also provide a glimpse into their beliefs, attitudes,
thoughts and feelings. These childhood memories can foreshadow
historical events during a President's administration even though
such events are separated by time and place. By examining the early
memories of the Presidents, it is possible to discover how, for
example: Abraham Lincoln's amusing memory of a boyhood caper
provided an unusual perspective on his character and his lasting
appeal as a great storyteller; how Ulysses S. Grant's memory of a
business transaction revealed a hidden vulnerability; and how
Dwight David Eisenhower's memory of battling with a barnyard goose
influenced his negotiating style as a General and President. These
and other Presidential memories provide both telling and
entertaining insights into the minds and actions of our American
leaders.
