Which first lady was responsible for bringing the cherry trees to Washington? Which president wrote bawdy limericks as a hobby? Who was the first president of the United States? (Hint: It's not George Washington.) Which president enlisted Elvis Presley in the war against drugs? Who was the only first lady to be committed to a mental institution? And, do you know ... WHICH PRESIDENT KILLED A MAN??? The commander in chief has always made headlines-but what about the tantalizing tidbits that don't make it into the history books? After serving several generations of presidents, author and former White House speechwriter James Humes now offers a delightful smorgasbord of little-known facts and figures about our presidents and their first ladies. James Humes was a White House speechwriter for Presidents Eisenhower, Nixon, Ford, Reagan, and George H. W. Bush. He assisted former President Ford in writing his memoirs, A Time to Heal, and is the author of more than thirty books, including his autobiography: Confessions of a White House Ghost Writer. Currently Ryals Professor of Leadership and Language at the University of Southern Colorado, he has appeared on "Today," "Good Morning America," CNN, "Larry King Live," and hundreds of radio shows. Humes makes his home in Pueblo, Colorado.
