Forty-two different men have held the nation's highest office, all of them unique individuals with a variety of personalities, talents and goals. Students will enjoy getting to know something about each President--where he was from, his political ups and downs, his family, his major accomplishments and his life after his presidency was completed. The interesting and intriguing facts and dates in the time line will make students want to discover more about each President.

From Washington to Bush, the presidency of the United States has gone through difficult times as well as great times. Students will learn that some Presidents were born into wealth, while others came from poverty. Some were poorly educated, some were self-educated, some pursued advanced degrees. There were many who had worthy goals, but for one reason or another were unable to accomplish them. Others had greatness thrust upon them. Some were dishonest. One quit.

The information in this book will be excellent for discussion starters, research investigations, multiple intelligence lessons, group activities, cooperative learning topics and summaries of various periods of American history.
