Walsh looked at presidential history from the unusual and illuminating vantage point of the presidents' planes. Now he focuses on the various retreats where our commanders-in-chief have gone to escape the hustle and bustle of Washington, chronicling the important decisions that were made and the historic events that have occurred at them. Moreover, he describes what these sites reveal about the characters of the presidents and the times in which they lived.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom George Washington (Mount Vernon) to George W. Bush (Crawford ranch), from FDR (Hyde Park) to JFK (Hyannisport), almost every single president has had a beloved place where he could really be himself. Based on Walsh's interviews with four of the living presidents, as well as scores of officials and staff, \u003ci\u003eFrom Mount Vernon to Crawford\u003c\/i\u003e is a fascinating glimpse into this largely unexamined facet of American government.","brand":"Grand Central Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44893653008613,"sku":"NP9781401301217","price":25.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/from-mount-vernon-to-crawford-isbn-9781401301217","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
