New audiobook release: The Life of Calvin Coolidge, by Horace Green
LibriVox ^

Posted on 01/24/2026 11:59:09 AM PST by ProgressingAmerica

Today, The Life of Calvin Coolidge by Horace Green is available. If you remember not long ago I pointed out that LibriVox has the Coolidge autobiography, so it is good that both are now getting coverage on this content platform.

Calvin Coolidge is very likely the best president over the last 150 years, at least I think so. He has the unique distinction of having being the only one who has defeated both the left wing progressives, as represented by the Wilsonians, as well as the right wing progressives, as represented by the Bull Moose. After World War I, anything related to war-time centralized planning was completely dismantled. Nobody else has such a distinguished record in the modern era, it is Peak Calvin Coolidge.

Please enjoy this recorded work, and if audio books are not your thing do not forget. The provided links also contain the PDF source so all of you readers are not lost here. You also have the text and I'm happy for you to take the time learning more about the life of this wonderful man if you are so inclined.

Yes, the reality is the are seeking a safe space to rest, but they die and never return. It's as if they know they are dying. But the reality is they are not feeling well at all..

The fact that you found her in a spot that she had never gone to before, is that it provided the safety & security it was seeking. A safe space as it may be called. Had your cat been trying to get out when the door was opened? If so, it was seeking that safe space.

everyone at FR should study Calvin Coolidge.

he is a great president and far better than experts credit him.

His speech on the 150th anniversary of the founding is also a must read.

Interestingly, Tasha slipped out the night before she passed away, and I couldn't find her, but she came back to the door later--she obviously was cold. When I left for work the next day, she was asleep

I understand that kidney disease is a a common killer of older cats. It is difficult to detect until symptoms appear in its advanced stages, when it is too late.

Whan I adopted her at 13, from a neighbor who was moving away, I knew I wouldn't have her for long.

That is one of the very best.

There is a book of Coolidge Speeches in the public domain - I’m always looking for people to collaborate with on extra additional projects if you’re interested.
