Craig Fehrman on Author In Chief

February Daytime Program

Co-sponsored with the Union League Club of Chicago

Craig Fehrman

Trivia question: “What American President’s autobiographical article in a magazine started a stampede to the newsstands?” Did you answer Calvin Coolidge? Did his name even come to mind? If not, then you’ll want to mark your calendar for a talk by Craig Ferhman, whose book illuminates the history of Presidential writing. (You may also want to go back to your August Caxtonian, in which Author In Chief was reviewed.) Fehrman is a very engaging speaker who will reveal some surprising stories that might upend what you thought you knew about this unique set of authors.
