PLYMOUTH NOTCH, Vt. â The honesty and clear thinking that defined American President Calvin Coolidge were byproducts of a boyhood spent working on his familyâs farm in a tiny Vermont hamlet, which he returned to throughout life, including during his years as the 30th president of the United States (1923-1929).
âIn the development of every boy who is going to amount to anything, there comes a time when he emerges from his immature ways,â he wrote in âThe Autobiography of Calvin Coolidge,â published by the National Notary Association. âSuch a transition finally came to me. It was not accidental, but the result of hard work.â
