About this ebook

Calvin Coolidge's autobiography opens in the Green Mountains of Vermont, where Plymouth's hard soil, timber, mills, and close-knit farm life shaped a people defined by endurance, thrift, faith, and local pride. Born on July 4, 1872, at "The Notch," he recalls a disciplined but affectionate home, his father's many labors as storekeeper, blacksmith, and practical craftsman, and his mother's beauty, sensitivity, and early death, which ended his childhood innocence. Around them stand grandparents, veterans, neighbors, Scripture, and the rhythms of maple sugaring, harvest, and the Fourth of July, all teaching duty, self-reliance, and public trust. That rural education in work, law, and self-government prepares him for a larger world. After Black River Academy, he enters Massachusetts politics as a cautious, conservative voice, defending representative government, the courts, and economic realism amid depression, war, and legislative excess. Rising to Lieutenant-Governor and then higher office, he relies on steadfast allies, travels widely, and becomes known for brevity, restraint, and practical reform, including efforts to stabilize Boston's street railways. This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design.

About the author

Calvin Coolidge, the 30th president of the United States, came to public life from the quiet, rural world of Vermont, and that sense of restraint, discipline, and plainspoken integrity shaped both his political career and his writing. Rising from local office to the governorship of Massachusetts and then to the White House, he became known as a man of few words and firm convictions, guiding the nation through a period of prosperity and change in the 1920s. As a writer, he is remembered for his clear, concise prose and for reflecting on public service, personal responsibility, and the value of steady government rather than dramatic intervention. His work often centers on themes of thrift, self-reliance, civic duty, and the moral importance of character, ideas that still resonate in an age often marked by noise, polarization, and rapid change. Coolidge's legacy lies not only in the office he held but in the example he offers of measured leadership and thoughtful restraint, and his writing remains a useful window into a distinctly American vision of citizenship and public life. Readers interested in presidential history, political memoir, and the enduring appeal of simplicity and discipline will find his work especially rewarding.
