OverviewCalvin Coolidge - Silent Cal is the biography of Calvin Coolidge, the thirtieth President of the United States (1923-1929). As a Republican lawyer from Vermont, Coolidge worked his way up the ladder of Massachusetts state politics, eventually becoming Governor of that state. His actions during the Boston Police Strike of 1919 thrust him into the national spotlight. Soon after, he was elected as the twenty-ninth Vice President in 1920 and succeeded to the Presidency upon the death of Warren G. Harding. Elected in his own right in 1924, he gained a reputation as a small-government conservative. In many ways Coolidge's style of governance was a throwback to the passive presidency of the nineteenth century. He restored public confidence in the White House after the scandals of his predecessor's administration, and left office with a considerable level of popularity. Calvin Coolidge - Silent Cal is highly recommended for those interested in reading more about this popular American President.
