I now know 100% more about Franklin Pierce than I did before. Thank you so much for writing this very interesting article. Just so you know, I’d love to join you on one of your future explorations, so let me know if Gabe is unavailable.

Fascinating read about a president I knew absolutely nothing about and apparently didn’t miss much! I so enjoy your articles!

This is my favorite of your many excellent posts. Your interest (obsession?) with presidential history shines through. Such a fun read!

This was a TERRIFIC read! I agree with others who said they could feel your passion for this story and its characters. Thanks for sharing this bit of history with us--just the right amount of policy, gossip, and debauchery to pique my interest. :) So I guess America has a history of selecting awful presidents. As for Chester A. Arthur--never heard of him. :)
