Grant was the hero of the recently ended Civil War.* President Richard Nixon was met with protests that saw Mainer battle Mainer.* President Carter spent the night of his visit with a common, ordinary Maine family, in their modest home.* President Trump's visit came in the middle of a global pandemic.Each of Maine's presidential visits left us with great stories, and a detailed view of Maine's lively history.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
