Genealogy Books - Five Negro Presidents

Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating:

Summary: All speculation, no hard evidence
Comment: This tiny little book is all about presidents and one statesman whose contemporaries said they might
be of African descent. No documentation is presented, even though there are purportedly written
depositions from people who knew people who said that these men had Negro ancestry. I was really
hoping for more substantial proof that at least one of these men could be proven to have African
ancestry, but it was mostly bombastic propanganda. No census records shown, no church records, no
slave rolls, not even a newspaper clipping, just the assertion that such things exist. Oh well, I
will keep looking for answers elsewhere.

Customer Rating:

Summary: And you thought you knew U.S. Presidents!
Comment: This engaging, informative account of U.S. Presidents of reportedly African heritage is well
written and worth the read. The information as presented is concise and proof for the most part is
stated.

As Americans, those of us who are well read, know that we have not always been given the
facts and/or the truth as it relates to our history. This writing does just that. It provides the
reader with historical facts that leave one asking, "...why haven't I heard this before?..."

I
recommend this book to students of history, teachers, presidential scholars and all Americans who
have a love and thirst for historical info not usually discussed.

Respectfully submitted,

Joy Watson
