Happy Birthday, President Calvin Coolidge and to many another and to the nation.

"This is the Fourth of July?" so said Thos. Jefferson on [or close to] his death day, at Monticello, July 4, 1826.

"Jefferson still survives." John Adams, his last words, uttered that very day, at Quincy, Massachusetts.

Lousy stinking of me to suggest commerce [below] on the Glorious Fourth, but I wanted to post images of the jackets of the books I wrote & illustrated about these two rivals/brothers in revolution, but I don't know how. Just bright enough to write a book, too lame to show you pictures of them.... ah well, Long Live the Republic!
