The Struggle to Teach the Whole Story: Calvin Coolidge and American History Education.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Stern, Sheldon M. – New England Journal of History, 1996
Observes that up-to-date history textbooks present a view of Calvin Coolidge that is nearly indistinguishable from those of decades ago; despite strong contradictory evidence, Coolidge is portrayed as extremely reactionary and unenergetic. Argues that he was actually progressive and dedicated to his work until the death of his son in 1924. (DSK)
