Happy Birthday Franklin Pierce

By John Walters on Friday, November 22, 2002.

Franklin Pierce is the only Granite State native son to become President. Tomorrow is Pierce's 198th birthday. We meet Jayme Simoes, head of a committee preparing for the Pierce Bicentennial in 2004, www.franklinpierce.ws, and David Holzel, co-creator of a satirical website devoted to the man he calls the most obscure President ever. www.mindspring.com/~dbholzel/pierce/pierce.html
