When Coolidge was Vice President, his twelve year old son was working on a tobacco farm in Connecticut. (As recently as the 1960’s most good cigar wrappers were made from Connecticut tobacco leaf.) On the day that President Harding died and Coolidge assumed office, the foreman informed his son, in front of the other boys, that his father was now President. His son responded, “That's good, what shed do you want me to work in this morning”. Another boy chimed in, “If my father was President of the United States, I wouldn't be working in any tobacco shed.” To which the young Coolidge replied, “If your father was my father you would.”
I agree that Calvin Coolidge was one of the most underrated presidents in history.
