Emerging Revolutionary War is pleased to partner with the Adams Memorial Foundation to share some reading about America’s “Founding Family.” The Foundation holds a monthly book club, hosted by Board President Jackie Cushman. In special arrangement with the Adams Memorial Foundation, ERW is sharing links to the first few conversations from that book club.

The next book highlighted in our series is Making the Presidency: John Adams and the Precedents That Forged the Republic by Dr. Lindsay M. Chervinsky (Oxford, 2024).

Along with Making the Presidency, her books include The Cabinet: George Washington and the Creation of an American Institution (2020); Mourning the Presidents: Loss and Legacy in American Culture (2023). She is a regular guest on podcasts and appears frequently on Listening to America podcast. She is the creator of the Audible course The Best and Worst Presidential Cabinets in U.S. History.
