Harry Truman's Excellent Adventure

Harry Truman's Excellent Adventure
by Matthew Algeo

In the summer of 1953, Harry and Bess Truman packed their bags and got in the car for a 3 week road trip. No press, no secret service, just the two of them enjoying their vacation together. Harry drove, Bess navigated and watched Harry's speed. (He was a bit of a leadfoot.)

This is an entertaining story. You get the full account of the road trip, life in the '50s, and a look at Harry Truman's unique personality. The book is full of interesting bits of history and trivia.
