The Quotable Calvin Coolidge: sensible words for a new century

The Story

Excerpts from Coolidge's writings and speeches are eloquent on a broad range of topics and quite to the point for our times as well as his own. Calvin Coolidge has long been dismissed as silent, and with little to say. A collection of over 200 quotations reveals the concise, direct, even eloquent way he stated his views on issues still relevant to the interests of contemporary Americans. The quotations, cited by date and circumstances, are organised alphabetically for use by speakers, writers, researchers, policy makers -- in fact, any with an interest in American history. Also included are Milestones in Coolidge's life; a Selected Bibliography; and a listing of Coolidge Archives headed by the Calvin Coolidge Memorial Foundation in Plymouth Notch, Vermont.
