A professional historian and author of the bestselling Presidential Anecdotes, Boller again shows his gift for lively--and revealing--stories. In this collection he provides a fascinating view of the history of our Congress, a history that reflects the life and character of the nation in often surprising ways.
Here professional historian Paul Boller again shows his gift for lively and revealing stories. From great oratory to low malapropisms (like the Senator who spoke about "Indigo China"), from high wit (the first congressmen dryly called the pompous and weighty John Adams, "Your Rotundity") to segregation in the congressional dining room, this informative and entertaining look at the history of Congress reveals much about our nation and government.
