If I ever get to retire I think I will read his diaries! His wife also wrote a journal about her travels across Europe during the invasions by Napolean. By the way, she had like four miscarriages while Adams was serving in Europe due to the stress and being apart from her family who was in America, very rough.
I would definitely read about her, she was very interesting. Even just reading that journal I mentioned. Adams tried to make her feel like going across Europe with just her and her younger son with Napolean on the loose wasn't a big deal but she defied him and wrote a journal about it. She also has a fortune teller say that war was about to break out on her journey but she didn't believe it and then it did!
And if I ever find myself with any spare time, I might propose doing a series of guest posts on First Pets! (I will never have that kind of spare time, alas. But I offer the idea to anyone who might!)
to the intertwining of US presidents and US history. History is meant to be analyzed and sifted through over and over again. Fresh perspectives are always needed. Kudos to you!
Thank you so much! I truly appreciate that. I try to make it relatable, enjoyable! The history of the U.S. Presidents is really a great way to learn about the history of the U.S., lots of stories that have been lost to time!

I've been tempted to do a counter series to yours that's all about the First Ladies. If only I was ambitious a reader as you are!

Young* son, he was a child at the time.

We at least should do a pet post when Char gets to Teddy Roosevelt: https://www.nps.gov/thrb/learn/historyculture/the-roosevelt-pets.htm
