Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lives and Graves of Our Presidents The seeds of the republic were planted in a distrust of the king. AS that grew, the necessity for self-government became more apparent. Slowly, but absolutely, at last, their loyalty and affection for the king died, and self-government was the one only form of national existence to adopt. They adopted it' in solemn recognition of all that it meant, and so adopting it they realized the momentous Significance and responsibility of the ruler of a free people who lived and acted for them, in the heart of a new continent, growing rapidly in every element of power and greatness, with the eyes of the world turned upon them, and in an age ripe for great revolutions. Their peculiar, and as they thought providential, history deepened the solem nity of what they did. Then, their first president was as a man and a magistrate so almost infinitely above the king they once loved but now loathed, and had done so much, and with such singular devotion to the public good and every high obligation in securing their liberties, that all their old respect for rulers returned to their hearts With increased tenderness and force. The president became more to them than the king ever was. In his person there centered all the profound regard they had learned to cherish for the people, for republican institutions, and the humanity of which they formed a part. The baptism of suffering and sorrow through which they passed in the change from the king to the president gave them one of the great' lessons that went deepest into their hearts, and started in the new nation a tide of profound respect for the chief magistrate who was the people's authority. No other nation ever had so fortunate a beginning, or so rich a pupilage through an infancy abounding in lessons of wisdom and worth, or so grand an entrance into the manhood of national life. Such a beginning prophesied all the greatness, worth and power which have followed. The colonial school of America was rough, but solid and genuine and trained a people such as the world never saw before, as the seed of a new nation and a new era of mankind.

Book excerpt: *Updated Edition* A fun, anecdote-filled, encyclopedic look at the circumstances surrounding the deaths of every president and a few “almost presidents,” such as Jefferson Davis. Packed with fun facts and presidential trivia, The President Is Dead! tells you everything you could possibly want to know about how our presidents, from George Washington to George H. W. Bush (who was the most recent president to die), met their ends, the circumstances of their deaths, the pomp of their funerals, and their public afterlives, including stories of attempted grave robbings, reinterments, vandalism, conspiracy theories surrounding their deaths, and much more. The President Is Dead! is filled with never-before-told stories, including a suggestion by one prominent physician to resurrect George Washington from death by transfusing his body with lamb’s blood. You may have heard of a plot to rob Abraham Lincoln’s body from its grave site, but did you know that there was also attempts to steal Benjamin Harrison's and Andrew Jackson’s remains? The book also includes “Critical Death Information,” which prefaces each chapter, and a complete visitor’s guide to each grave site and death-related historical landmark. An “Almost Presidents” section includes chapters on John Hanson (first president under the Articles of Confederation), Sam Houston (former president of the Republic of Texas), David Rice Atchison (president for a day), and Jefferson Davis. Exhaustively researched, The President Is Dead! is richly layered with colorful facts and entertaining stories about how the presidents have passed.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Presidents: Or the Lives of Twenty-Three Presidents of the United States On the last day of April, 1889, our country will have had a century of Presidents. Yet it is improbable that the majority of Americans will, on that day, be aware that it is one of the great dates of history. For it will then be a hundred years since George Washington took the oath of office as first President of the United States. The great historic scene, with all its circumstances and surroundings, is familiar to us. We still see the tall, stately figure, the grave, striking face, as Washington, "in his dress of American manufacture," stood before the awed, breathless crowds of that old New York, the chief actor in a drama such as the world had never before witnessed. It is evident that our first President must have taken his oath of office with feelings which could never be wholly reflected by any of those who came after him. Yet I think, if he could at that hour have looked down the long line of his twenty-one successors, it would have gladdened his soul to know how many of these would make it their supreme aim to serve their country - so far as lay in them - with his own wise, far-seeing statesmanship, and his own simple, patriotic devotion. The man or woman to whose lot it shall fall to write the biographies of the Presidents of a second century, will, it is hoped, find as much worthy of honor and praise, as the author of these brief sketches has found. It must also be true in that far-off day, as in the present one, that those who think best of men judge them most truly."
