Messages and Papers of the US Presidents

Post by **MaryAnnSpiegel** » April 18th, 2015, 12:27 pm

There is currently a project underway to read a compilation of the messages and papers of President U.S. Grant. I'm not sure why he was chosen (maybe someone had a particular interest in him as a historical figure, it's an abandoned solo which was converted to a group project). When this project is complete, it might be interesting to record compilations regarding some of the other presidents:

A round-robin would be neat, Washington to Jefferson, Jefferson to Adams, etc.

I can look at starting another one . . . but it won't be until Grant is finished. So feel free to stop over there and read a few sections!
