Matthew Algeo is an intriguing look at a more innocent time in our nation’s history.
The book chronicles the 2500 mile post presidential road trip that
Harry and Bess Truman took in 1953. It was the first and last time in our
history that a former president could travel without secret service, reporters,
and paparazzi following them everywhere.
The book not only gives us insight into the character of Harry Truman, but it offers us a
unique perspective on America in 1953 as ordinary people interact with their former
president.
