The Autobiography of Calvin Coolidge

Shortly after Coolidge left office, it was serialized in Cosmopolitan magazine in nine parts, from April through December, 1929.

Coolidge's autobiography covers all the notable moments in his life, such as his childhood and youth, Governorship, Presidency, son's death, and retirement.

However, this trait of the autobiography was not that surprising as no one expected Coolidge to reveal some private government information and secrets in his autobiography (Coolidge was a very private man, despite his happy-going and cheerful public personality image).

[4] The Coolidge autobiography was extremely popular at the time of its publication, as evidenced by the large amount of fan mail that its author received and by the willingness of many newspapers to publish parts of the autobiography so that much more of the American public could buy it and view it.

[5] Coolidge said that he hoped that his autobiography might guide and encourage the young men and women of America.
