This encyclopedia
is organized chronologically, beginning in 1789 with
George Washington and ending in 1994 with President
Bill Clinton. If students want to ascertain who was
president during a particular year, they need only turn
to the page for that year and find the name. The book
incorporates the life of each president as part of the
larger story of the U.S. Major events that occurred
during each president's tenure are noted, as well as
important people from that particular period of time.
Each entry includes the president's
birth date and place, death, party, vice president,
family-member names, and nickname. A four-page chart
of presidential election results is found at the end
of the book. It includes the president and vice president,
term, election year, candidates, popular and electoral
votes, and the president's birthplace. Black-and-white
photographs of events and people, political cartoons,
artifacts reflecting the period in history, as well
as maps detailing the growth of our country can be found
throughout the book.
