Most of us recognize the names of famous presidents...Washington, Truman, Grant, Nixon. There were many other men who served their country in the highest office as well, but with perhaps a bit less celebrity or infamy...people like James Polk, Chester Alan Arthur or Rutherford B. Hayes. We're looking at the role these men played and also trying to get a better understanding of why some names live on and others are all but forgotten to history. Laura's guest is Ken Davis, author of several books, including "Don't Know Much about Presidents" and Andrew Moore, Assistant Professor of Modern U.S. History at St. Anselm College. Moore teaches a course in the American Presidency.
