My Journey Through the Best Presidential Biographies 
I finished A. Scott Berg’s “Wilson” a few weeks ago. I look forward to your review.
I should be done by this weekend – you’ll have to let me know how our perspectives on it compare 🙂
I was looking at the web page of the White House Historical Association and came across their list of Presidents which links to a biography of each. https://www.whitehousehistory.org/filters/presidents
I thought it might be worth listing. Let me know what you think.
Thanks; I agree!
I know this is on the New Release List, but here’s a website from The Miller Center with additional resources:
