biographical information






^Me when I was at Amherst College


I was born on July 4th, 1872 in Plymouth Notch, Vermont. I was the only president to be born on independence day. As a young boy I worked on a farm across from my father's store. Since I loved working on the farm so much, when I was 6 years old my grand farther gave me a farm of my own. I use to ride horses for a while, I was so good that I could ride like they do in the circus, standing on the horse's bare back. When I started going to school I went to a private school my whole life. The education I recieved there help me get into Amherst college where I graduated with honors in 1895. I worked as a law clerk, so I could become a lawyer later on.
