Please join us for our discussion of Harry Truman's Excellent Adventure by Matthew Algeo. After leaving the presidency in 1953, Harry Truman and his wife took a road trip from Missouri to New York City and back. Such a trip would be unthinkable today, but the Trumans simply backed out their driveway, and went on their way without notifying anyone. Algeo’s charming account of this trip shows not only in how highway travel has changed since then, but how the ex-presidency has changed, as well.
