rs coolidge. i think they were slightly a mused by their husbands activities with the husbands and what they had to do in politics. she is a very interesting and capable person. >> i think that the marriage has to be considered a success. it lasted until death did them part, and they were still on speaking terms. better than half of them right there, hey. and i think that she is an ideal companion for him. when you think of how they got married in california with him coming in from australia. he landed on the ship. you know, getting off of the ship. they arrange the wedding and within 48 hours they are on a ship to china where neither of them have been before. not every young woman would have been up for an advantage like that but she went down in the mines, the rebellion was out on patrol with the firearm strapped to the hip. you liknow, she was an adventurs lady, and they did have a very busy life. i found it hilarious with the way they ran their household. everything seemed to be a mess or mudd

otherwise known as the harting and coolidge administrations. hoover was an outsider and he was feeling it this way along and just become very upset by what we today would think was rather mild criticism for what is sometimes called justice misrepresentations. i think that was an inhibiting factor. the politician stock of hoover that he was too much of an outsider and a man who made a career outside of politics. had others who thought of politics more. had been in his corner. so there was a lot of distrust of him. he referred to congress, which is still in existence in those days -- rather the prohibition was in existence, and he caught at that beer garden on the hill. i do not know whether that come back to the members of congress, but you can see there was a gap. and then hoover famously said there ought to be a law allowing the president to hang too many years without being required to give any reason. one thing i have never been able to resolve in my inquiries or research is which senator he was referring to when he referred to them as the o

coolidge. they became close friends. and i think that one thing that bonded them was i think they were both slightly amused by their husbands. you know, activities with their husbands had to do in politics. so she's a very interesting person, a very capable person. and well, i think the marriage has to be considered a success. i mean, it lasted till death did them part. and they were still on speaking terms. so it's, you know, better than half of them right there. and. and i think lose in many ways an ideal companion for him. when you think about how they got married. and in california, for him coming in from australia and landing and you know, from getting off a ship, they arrange the wedding hasty in within 48 hours. they're on a ship to china where neither them have ever been before. and not not every young woman would have been up for an adventure like that. lew absolutely was. and as george mentioned, went down in the mines. and during the boxer rebellion was out on patrol with a with a firearm strapped to her hip.

essentially said, can i borrow a naval vessel and take me around to central and south america, which coolidge was happy to do and. when leslie found out, she said well, i think i have a flag that flew on one of those. and indeed she did did when we were doing a book on our an exhibit on, hoover and baseball, he was a big baseball. when james hoover heard about it, he said, well, i think i've got a baseball that. babe ruth signed for president hoover. and indeed he did. and of course, hoover's hoover's favorite story about is that a little girl asked for if he she could have two autographs from him, and he said, oh, is one for your little brother. and she said, no, it takes two of yours to get one of babe ruth's. so yeah but yeah and i know the the hoover kind of quiet continues this day so before i open it up to the audience. one last question how do you think we should celebrate the 150th anniversary this year. the best way i can think of is margaret spoke the misrepresentation of great granddad just telling the truth letting people he's more revered in european countries and he is in the co

and as calvin coolidge, the president signed the johnson reed act into law he said america must be kept american. also dividing good portions of the country in the 1920s will be an intense religious debate that's going to play right into the heart of what will be the scopes trial. and on one side of that debate will religious modernists and religious modernists like rapley and frank robinson, drugstore were people who said, you could square the bible with modern science and note that the bible was written by humans and contain valid human of how god acted. but didn't have to be precisely historical or scientific typically that the bible's ethical and religious teachings were beyond the realm of facts that you take the lessons of the bible without saying the miracles of the bible were absolute be true religious, modernist. it's so for the adam and eve story, you could say that while there might not have been a garden of eden, there might be a moment in evolution where we have what would be first humans that could stand in for that story. bible be interpreted in the light of modern scient
