Assassination and a number of president s were already assassinated, why wouldnt the government have protections from him . There were pensions for army officers, everybody else but no pension for president s. In fact he had very little money. He had to borrow some money secretly, which dean addison cosigned. To pay for the move back home. This is not wellknown and doesnt mean he didnt have any money. He did have money but you need cash to cover all the expenses of moving out of the white house.

The library of congress and the book festivals real purpose is literacy which leads to learning an opportunity, which matches our goal of helping our community succeed. Learning to love books and learning to Love Learning are what the book festival is all about. In this session, ron chernow will discuss his biography of ulysses s. Grant. If we are lucky, certain other popular founding fathers. One thing i learned from this story of president grant was how people can evolve through persistence and hard work.

It is my privilege to introduce the Deputy Director of national, International Outreach and our session moderator, colleen. [app
