Discover their owners back to the first settlers and learn about the disasters, acts of vandalism, and other historically significant events that have occurred on these historic locations. Almost every birthplace has been preserved in some way or another, from the grand monuments of Abraham Lincoln and James Buchanan, to replicas for George Washington and Theodore Roosevelt, or the simple roadside markers for Benjamin Harrison and Zachary Taylor. These places all have unique and often fascinating stories to tell. From George Washington
"This is a great book for you history and architectural buffs, filled with stuff I certainly didn't know (and you probably won't either). For example, some remains of the logs of Lincoln's cabin have supposedly been preserved to reconstruct it. From one-room cottages to hospitals and mansions, and from rural plains to downtown New York City, there seems to be no common denominator when it comes to where presidents are birthed." - July 2013 issue of Mensa Bulletin magazine.
