Presidents and First Ladies Trivia

[Gene C]

Thanks David, that is interesting.
Maybe it was because of the time restraints of the class, but I was frequently disappointed with most of my history teachers that never brought up some of the these little interesting details that made the study of history interesting and fun. They rarely gave people of the past personality, they never made the connection with personal struggles and triumphs to our present day life. People of the past were just names in a book somehow attached to some great deed. They didn't seem very real.

Such as https://www.bartleby.com/400/prose/491.html
Kind of makes me want to read and learn more.
(which is what I think a good teacher does)
