grover cleveland
I have often stated that we are living in a golden age of good academic writing from historians, telling challenging stories that people are ready to hear in ways that.
This is the grave of Grover Cleveland. Born in 1837 in Caldwell, New Jersey to a minister father, he grew up in Fayetteville, New York, after his father became pastor.
Another day, another reference to the 1884 presidential campaign. Grover the Good. If that wasn't meant as a denigration, it'd be real hard to swallow. Also, campaigns of the 1880s.
Now this is interesting, from GC at Pileus: President Cleveland faced a pretty hawkish Congress in 1896 due to the perception of an “intolerable” humanitarian disaster taking place in Cuba.
