In this episode of Beyond Mount Rushmore, we examine the intriguing story of a U.S. president whose post-office life made history for all the wrong reasons. We explore how his controversial choice during one of America's darkest periods led to his erasure from many history books. From the political landscape of the White House to a funeral that the U.S. government refused to acknowledge, this episode is packed with politics, controversy, and a family legacy that continues to astonish. Join Jeff Hickcox and Stan Nawalaniec as they uncover the lesser-known narratives of presidents you thought you knew. Tune in wherever you get your podcasts!
