Written By Heather Rogers, America's Preeminent Presidential Doodler

  • Born in Germany

  • Came to the U.S. to escape the Nazis

  • Served in the U.S. army during World War II

  • Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford’s Secretary of State

  • Rosalynn Carter was embarrassed to serve him water from a Tweety glass

  • Complicated legacy, which I think is a friendly way of saying he did some shady stuff…

  • Lived to 100 years old

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.
