#1-12 At age 68, I was the nation’s oldest chief executive until 69-year-old Ronald Reagan took office over 125 years later. Two powerful Congressmen from my party edited and contributed to my inaugural speech. I indicated that, as president, I generally planned to follow the lead of Congress. To show my hardiness, I dressed lightly on a bitter cold day for my speech. But all I actually showed was fool-hardiness. Within a few days, I caught a cold that soon developed into pneumonia.

#13-24 I was described as a “Book-Trained Soldier.” My wife was the daughter of a trustee of Hiram College. She and I had known each other since childhood. I studied law and was certified as an attorney the year the Civil War began. I volunteered for the army and was made a colonel. Many of my men were my former students who were eager to follow me into battle.

#25-34 During my presidency, 600 U.S. Marines landed at Guantanamo, Cuba. They were the first of what eventually became a force of 17,000 troops. Congress passed the War Revenue Act, which generated about $150 million a year from taxes on beer, tobacco, amusements, and some business transactions. I used the term “Manifest Destiny” from the Polk Administration to justify annexing Hawaii.

#35-44 Signs like the one shown below were common because of the Oil Crisis that began when members of the Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries (OAPEC) proclaimed an oil embargo. They wanted to punish the U.S. because of our involvement in the Yom Kippur War in the Middle East. During the embargo, the price of oil rose from $3 per barrel to nearly $12. Gasoline has never been nearly as cheap as it was before the embargo.
