Harry Truman and I share the same birthday, so I’ve always had a fondness for Harry Truman. I was tickled to hear about “Harry Truman’s Excellent Adventure” about an amazing road trip taken by a former president.Can you imagine someone just out the White House hopping into their car and traveling across the country with just their spouse…no bodyguards, no fancy hotels, no press?! It obviously would never happen today.

But the truth is that it did happen. And author Matthew Algeo retraces his steps from his home in Missouri to DC, up to New York City and back home.

This book is perfect for history buffs, people from Missouri or anyone who was/is a fan of Harry Truman.
