Written By Heather Rogers, America's Preeminent Presidential Doodler

  • FDR’s final vice president

  • Was only vice president for 82 days before FDR died

  • The last president to have a “normal” post-presidency

  • Bess turned down his terrible marriage proposal; eight years later, she said accepted

  • Hated modern art, but protected artistic freedom

  • Truman played an active role in planning his funeral, calling it “A damn fine show. I just hate that I’m not going to be around to see it.”

Heather Rogers, America's Preeminent Presidential Doodler

Heather isn’t a historian, an academic, or an impartial storyteller… but she has read more than one book about every U.S. president. Out of spite. She was dubbed America’s Preeminent Presidential Doodler by one of her favorite authors and she’s been repeating it ever since. When she’s not reading or doodling history books, she’s a freelance graphic designer and illustrator.
