Unfortunately, he was way to loyal and as a result there were scandals in his administration and people who got wealthy because of them. <BR/><BR/>This cannot be said about Grant himself. He was impoverished towards the end of his life and only writing his autobiography (edited by Mark Twain or possibly ghost written) enabled him to leave an estate to his wife Julia.Durward Discussionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15023629504094283860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20306397.post-10721427731874712182007-08-01T14:44:00.000-07:002007-08-01T14:44:00.000-07:00Sounds quite fascinating, I really don't know much...Sounds quite fascinating, I really don't know much at all about Harding and I probably should. <BR/><BR/>While I was reading this I was thinking about the trials and tribulations of President U.S. Grant and the problems he had with all of his Cabinet members, too. He was an honest man, though, and I think just got taken advantage of by a lot of corrupt and greedy men.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05698969349369789642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20306397.post-64737690588299445802007-08-01T12:49:00.000-07:002007-08-01T12:49:00.000-07:00Other Harding tidbits- he had a long running love ...Other Harding tidbits- he had a long running love affair with a woman who he supposedly had sex with in a White House broom closet. He wrote her long letters- some as long as 22 pages.....he liked to play card in the White House with his cabinet...he was lazy and gullible....allegedly, he had an African-American Grandfather, making him our only "black President." He was probably our last TRUE isolationist President....some people think he was murdered....the college he went to- i think it was Central Ohio University, burned down, and was never rebuilt.....he was a newspaper man.....in personal makeup, he was very similar to Dan Quayle. <BR/><BR/>There's a fantastic book about him called "The Shadow of Blooming Grove" that i read years ago. I still have it in my library, though i think it is out of print.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
