The president has symbolized the country and its people since the office was established in 1789, and the role has changed drastically over time with the rise of new challenges and in response to a changing world. Claire Jerry, curator of political history at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History, provides her expertise with an engaging introduction about our country's relationship to the presidential office.

Beautifully designed and full of quotations that provide insight on each president in his own words, the Smithsonian Book of Presidential Quotations reflects uniquely American ideals, history, and democracy."
