I Hate You, Grover Cleveland
Contents:
Lots of great stories and information!
The school was closed in , along with a dozen other schools around the city, due to declining enrollment. I Hate You, Grover Cleveland. Why would a rape victim want to marry her rapist and name the baby after her rapist??? A reporter reached Spencer by phone while she was still in the house after the shooting, and asked her why she did it. On the morning of Monday, January 29, , Spencer began shooting at children waiting for Principal Burton Wragg aged 53 to open the gates to Cleveland Elementary. My only complaint is that I thought the price was a little high for what is basically an oversized paperback book. This livens up the day.
The illustrations are very well done too. This book would also make a great gift for any child with an interest in history. The Odds of Loving Grover Cleveland. I fell in love with all of the characters in this book. I am amazed at how good it was.
I'm very sad to have finished it. I feel like I'll miss my new friends. Well done, Rebekah Crane, and thank you. Don't feel bad about the nasty reviewers. It happens to all really good authors.
Only 7 left in stock more on the way. I wanted to dislike this book but I couldnt, it was too entertaining.
Grover Cleveland
The timeline of Maria Alperins accusations actually favors Grover Cleveland and rings more like "hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" than any sort of credible accusation of rape. Why would a rape victim want to marry her rapist and name the baby after her rapist??? He discusses correctly other tales of Cleveland as a "seducer" but fails to reach logical conclusions. The more likely scenario that Maria Halperin was a woman who had been seduced with perhaps unspoken or implied promises of marriage, left pregnant, treated somewhat shabbily and then after she decended into alcoholism had her baby taken away albeit improperly and then paid off with hush money.
The author calls that version fundamentally dishonest Absolutely adore this book! I am working n reading bios of each president, and this author does a splendid job of hashing out Clevelands life and politics without being dry or too longwinded. He breaks down Clevelands life into clear chapters and tell you everything you would like to know, as well as interesting tidbits along the way. It is amazing to read about the politics of the day, and how they compare and contrast with today's politcal arena. If you love bios, you will love this one!! Only 9 left in stock more on the way.

Nevin has written the gold standard for Cleveland biographies. Although a bit biased toward Cleveland, Nevin does an good job giving the background of Cleveland and showing how he went from being Buffalo Mayor to President in a short period of time. Cleveland was never the most imaginative President, but this book tells how his integrity helped him reform civil service and tackle corruption--lessons that are useful even today. Only 13 left in stock more on the way. Allan Nevins won the Pulitzer Prize in for his two volume biography of Grover Cleveland and in my opinion it is still the only recommendable biography on our 22nd and 24th President over 75 years later.
A Study in Character and H. Jeffers Honest President but both fall far short of supplanting Nevins work. I personally think a new, comprehensive, preferrably one volume biography of Grover Cleveland would be welcome but until then Nevins' is the only biography that I can recommend. Nevins' writing is straightforward and does not seem as dated as one might think. This biography doesn't resort to any unconventional take on history but instead recounts the life of Grover Cleveland in a level of detail appropriate for an academic biography.
While the book certainly was not a page turner It was interesting and learned some more important historical facts. Temporarily out of stock. I enjoy books on early baseball legends, and I felt this book did a nice job reviewing the career of Alexander and his life after baseball. Those of us who love baseball and enjoy the history of the game have always been aware of his troubled life, but this book brought forward new and accurate information of him.
I would recommend this book to all baseball fans. My only complaint is that I thought the price was a little high for what is basically an oversized paperback book. If you can get it at your local library and a reduced price copy it would be to your advantage. Only 1 left in stock - order soon.
