When Calvin Coolidge is mentioned, some stereotypes come to mind—quiet, if not silent; frugal, if not cheap; dignified, if not wooden.

Did those who knew him in this intimate way confirm or deny the commonly held beliefs? In the end, Calvin Coolidge, a complex figure in American history, will be humanized—his character, values and personality brought more in focus.
