    I am looking for a book about Calvin Coolidge.  Ideally it would talk about his life through the presidency and would be geared to high school students.  I am also open to a book written to a slightly younger audience that has very good information.

    I’ve heard good things about this one: http://www.amazon.com/Coolidge-Amity-Shlaes/dp/0061967556/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1377051293&sr=8-1&keywords=coolidge

    Also this one I also heard good things about and has both Wilson and Coolidge, among 3 others:

    1920: The Year of the Six Presidents – http://www.amazon.com/1920-The-Year-Six-Presidents/dp/0786721022/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=3QQBCH3DPPYC0&coliid=IK23RJ1V9POGH

    Thanks, Rachel.  Both of them look very intriguing – I have a vague notion that I knew about the one by Amity Shales and forgot about it. 

    Have you, or anyone else heard anything about Silent Cal’s Almanack? I found that while checking out the books you have linked.

    Just found The Autobiography of Calvin Coolidge.  Has anyone read this?  I can’t see inside the book, but it is rated pretty high on Amazon.

    As a side question, why could I not get Amazon to bring up books about Calvin Coolidge or Woodrow Wilson before?  Was the site acting up for anyone else?  I have decent computer skills, but wasn’t getting anywhere with these or a couple of other more specific searches.

    I haven’t seen the autobiography, but that’s great; I didn’t know it existed.

    I’ve not had a problem like the one you describe.

    Jacqleene, I’ve had that on amazon a couple of times when I had the wrong category chosen unbeknownst to me. Searching for books in electronics or something doesn’t work well. 😉 otherwise I’ve never had an issue.

    TY, Christie. 🙂  I suppose I should make sure that it is on the “search all” or “books” spot.  I didn’t pay attention to that, just started searching.

    Ah…good point; I’ve had that happen as well.
