\ George W. Rutler"This book should help others to discover a man who should never have been neglected. Silent Cal was hardly silent at all, just thoughtful. The opposite seems to be the manner of many public figures today. And he expressed his thoughts with words as eloquent as they were noble."\ \ \ \ \ Jonah Goldberg"Calvin Coolidge was one of the greatest presidents of the 20th century and is certainly the most underrated. This book, compiled by one of my favorite historians, will give readers a full appreciation of why Silent Cal's wisdom shines \ \ like a beacon through the fog of historical amnesia."\ \ \ Elizabeth Kantor"Silent Cal's Almanack is a gem of a book, a collection of the remarkable sayings of our least talkative President. If the ever-leftier media leaves you half-convinced that the freedom-loving, God-fearing, free-market America that conservatives champion is figment of our unrealistic nostalgia—or a world view invented by Bill Buckley or Ronald Reagan—Calvin Coolidge's words will clear up the misunderstanding."\ \ \ \ \ Amity Shlaes"David Pietrusza has brought Coolidge back to life with his volumes about the president . . ."\ \ \ \ \ Chistopher BedfordSilent Cal’s Almanack: The Homespun Wit and Wisdom of Vermont's Calvin \ \ Coolidge, by YAF alum David Pietrusza, is a phenomenal Autumn read.
