    About this ebook

    On June 19, 1953, Harry Truman got up early, packed the trunk of his Chrysler New Yorker, and did something no other former president has done before or since: he hit the road. No Secret Service protection. No traveling press. Just Harry and his childhood sweetheart Bess, off to visit old friends, take in a Broadway play, celebrate their wedding anniversary in the Big Apple, and blow a bit of the money he'd just received to write his memoirs. Hopefully incognito.In this lively history, author Matthew Algeo meticulously details how Truman's plan to blend in went wonderfully awry. Fellow diners, bellhops, cabbies, squealing teenagers at a Future Homemakers of America convention, and one very by-the-book Pennsylvania state trooper--all unknowingly conspired to blow his cover. Algeo revisits the Trumans' route, staying at the same hotels and eating at the same diners, and takes readers on brief detours into topics such as the postwar American auto industry, McCarthyism, the nation's highway system, and the decline of Main Street America. By the end of the 2,500-mile journey, you will have a new and heartfelt appreciation for America's last citizen-president.

      Absolutely loved this book!!! It is the clash of 2 of my obsessions...the US Presidency and old cars. This was a delightful adventure where Mr. Algeo retraces this unique adventure taken by former President Truman and his wife Bess, only months after leaving the White House....paying his own way in his brand new 1953 Chrysler New Yorker with no Presidential pension, and no Secret Service or security....Just 2 'normal' citizens on a road trip! The mission was to enjoy an adventure on the road incognito......the reality was something quite different. I applaud Mr. Algeo's dedication and attention to detail enabling him to recreate the journey for himself as closely as was possible with the information available and the passage of time. The structure of the book is charming and very interesting, especially to a Presidential geek like myself. It did not hurt that i had just been to the Truman Library in Independence, MO barely a month ago. A great peak into another time in a warm and human manner, devoid of all the negative crap that seems to always be present in political circles today. A refreshing break...One that i was grateful for!!

      President Truman was in office when I was just a toddler. So this was nice book to read about a about a man I knew nothing about. More about his character. Really enjoyed.

      Sadly had to stop reading this book, not because the book was not enjoyable, but because the formatting was off. On my laptop the book was gibberish, on my tablet pages were missing. Not sure what is wrong with the formatting, this is the first time this has happened to me.

      Really enjoyed this story about Harry Truman's road trip! Since I enjoy taking road trips too, I enjoyed the travel commentary as well as the tidbits of history intermingled.

      A great light read about a great president and about roadtripping, which is a great hobby that I enjoy.

      Neither a bad book nor an especially well-written one, but left me wanting more. Historical context is left lacking in favor of a grinding attention to detail (How much gas did the Trumans purchase? What did they order for dessert?), while the author's own stories of retracing the Trumans' route are at best gratuitous. It is interesting to see what a popular reception Truman enjoyed on the trip, and the discussion of the finances of ex-presidents is also interesting. However, I would have preferred a bit more context and relevant detail to the painstakingly collected lists of names of people who shook Truman's hand. Finally, I am always happy to have occasion to recount the following story, which I first read in an H Allan Smith book, about Harry & Bess Truman: Harry Truman was giving a speech at the Grange (or some other association of farmers). At one point in his speech, he said, "If there's one thing I know about farming, it's that farming is all about manure, manure, and more manure." A woman sitting at the Trumans' table turned to Bess and said, "Oh, Mrs Truman, aren't you embarrassed by him saying 'manure' in his speech?" Bess replied, "Not at all. It's taken twenty years to get him to say 'manure'."

      “I like roads. I like to move.”“Harry Truman was the last person to leave the White House and return to something resembling a normal life. And in the summer of 1953 he did something millions of ordinary Americans do all the time, but something no former president had ever done before—and none has done since. He took a road trip...”In this charming and well-researched book, we get to ride along with Harry and Bess, in their new Chrysler New Yorker, on their trip, from Independence Mo, to the East Coast. The author documents, much of their route, including gas station and restaurant stops, along with their overnight lodging. Harry chats with mechanics, cabbies, fellow diners and state troopers. The author also followed this route, while researching the book and makes interesting comments about how things have changed across the Midwest, in these 60-plus years.Truman is one of my favorite historical figures. Someone I would love to sit down and have a beer with, plus he loved books. If you would like a little slice of American history, hop in the backseat and give this one a spin.

      I absolutely loved Harry Truman’s Excellent Adventure by Matthew Alego. The book details a road trip that Harry Truman and his wife, Bess took in the early summer of 1953. Truman had said goodbye to politics and left Washington after Dwight Eisenhower was sworn in. He was now a member of the exclusive club of Ex-Presidents. He and his wife decided to undertake a road trip, driving from Independence, Missouri to the East Coast and back again. There was just the two of them in the car, no aides, no secret service, no photographers. They attracted some attention, but many times it was just Harry at the wheel, Bess as navigator and miles of highway to travel.The author sprinkles tidbits of information about the 1950’s, the various states that they travelled through, the people along the way and the Truman’s in particular. This road trip came to be significant in that it helped to define the role of an ex-president. Harry Truman was the last president to return to civilian life with no retirement package or benefits of any kind. The author captures the essence of the 1950’s effortlessly and whether he is describing a meal the Truman’s ordered in a roadside dinner or making a particular point about politics or history, he holds the readers attention easily. North Americans have long had a love affair with their automobiles and taking a road trip has become a tradition. Harry and Bess Truman’s 1953 road trip was great fun to read about and Harry Truman’s Excellent Adventure is truly a gem of a book.

      In Harry Truman’s Excellent Adventure: The True Story of a Great American Road Trip, Matthew Algeo, follows an oblique path to give the reader an interesting and informative view of former President Harry S. Truman. In 1945, after serving eighty-two days as Vice President during Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s fourth term, Harry Truman became the 33rd President of the United States when FDR died. Later, he was elected as President in 1948 and could have run for the office again in 1952, but chose not to run. Instead, he proudly returned to being an ordinary citizen after Eisenhower took the oath of office in 1953. He had been one of two Presidents since 1869 that did not have a college degree. Perhaps that enabled him to identify with normal people better than some of the other presidents. In the summer of 1953, he did something that no other former president has ever done. He and his beloved wife, Bess, took a three-week road trip of about 2,500 miles from their home in Independence Missouri to Washington D.C., Philadelphia and New York City. Harry loved to drive and he drove his new Chrysler during the entire journey, with Bess keeping him on course and within the speed limit (he also loved to drive fast). In addition, they did not have any Secret Service protection, and they didn’t want any. Although Truman tried to make the trip as a private citizen without any publicity, he was recognized wherever he went and the press and many ordinary people converged on him almost everywhere during the journey. Algeo focuses on that road trip and did remarkable research on it, including retracing the trip, staying in the same hotels and eating in the same restaurants (those that still exist). He talked to people who had seen and/or met the Trumans during their journey. Of course he also mined the published information about the trip. Algeo describes the journey in detail, including conversations that the former President had with ordinary people along the way and what those people (or their descendants) remembered about their (or their family members) encounter with the Trumans. He also provides photographs that were taken of Harry and Bess during the trip. Harry Truman also remained interested and involved in politics after his presidency and during the trip he met with former colleagues and spoke to Congress in Washington D.C. and to other groups in Philadelphia and New York City. Algeo provides at least partial transcripts of these public speeches. Algeo’s portrait of Harry Truman is a very personal one that reveals him to have been a common man in many ways, i.e., a man with much common sense who liked to talk with almost anyone and treated people with kindness and respect. However, Algeo also revealed him to be an adept politician, although he was a straight talker and he did not always conceal his disagreements with, or dislike of, some people. He was also totally devoted to Bess, whom he had known since they were very young, but had not married until their late 30s. Algeo also uses the road trip as a stepping stone to enlighten the reader about many historical transitions in society, including the development of the U.S. highway system, the postwar American auto industry, McCarthyism, the decline of main streets, and others. Each of these detours is fairly brief, but long enough to be very interesting and informative. Other detours from the journey flowed throughout the book, e.g., the fact that former U.S. presidents did not receive any pension and many of them, including Harry Truman, struggled to cope with their expenses. Over the years, several bills had been introduced in Congress to grant pensions, to former presidents, but they had never passed until 1958 when the Former Presidents Act was passed making Truman eligible for a yearly pension of $25,000. Another continuing thread dealt with his relationships with other former presidents, including Herbert Hoover, Dwight Eisenhower, Richard Nixon, and others. This book reveals President Truman to have been a remarkable person, whose popularity rose considerably after he left office. Algeo has created a unique, charming, very personal (almost intimate at times) book about Harry Truman, which is also very informative about the political climate of his time and his impact on that climate. I liked the book very much.

      Harry Truman has long been a cultural icon. Matthew Algeo does a nice job explaining why that came to be. Can anyone imagine Dick and Pat Nixon, George and Barbara Bush, Lyndin and Lady Bird Johnson or any other First couple driving themselves across the country just 6 months after leaving office? Most presidents pretend to be ordinary people. The Trumans acted the part of being ordinary but were nothing short of extraordinary. The book has so many funny, poignant moments. Like when Truman, while walking through Rockefeller Center gets himself on the Today Show's roving crowd camera (the show was just 6 monrths old); Truman getting pulled over by a PA highway patrolman for driving in the left lane of the Turnpike; and Truman playing the piano late into the evening of his Indianopolis IN hosts. For anyone who enjoys presidential history, mid-20th century American culture, this book is a gem. Nicely written, the book is wonderfully researched. Algeo traces the Truman's 1953 trip and then tries 50 years later to catch up with participants both buildings, cars and people.

      Interesting view of life at that time, but overall I felt it lacked some sort of focus that could have made it truly "excellent."

      Harry Truman's Excellent Adventure: The True Story of a Great American Road Trip was a good summer read concerning Harry and Bess Truman's post presidential drive from Independence, Missouri to New York, New York and back by way of Washington, DC, Philadelphia and other towns along the way. Mr. Algeo did some wonderful research, including actually retracing the trip, visiting the places, when possible, and personally interviewing people met by the Trumans on ther trip. He includes lists of his interviews and a bibliography of the books and interviews done by others which he found in his research. I enjoyed his recounting of the trip and his discussions of the people, places and topics of the day brought to his mind by the trip.

      In the summer of 1953, Harry Truman and his wife Bess did what millions of Americans have done before and since; they packed their bags and went on a long road trip. They'd visit some friends, see their daughter in NYC, and just enjoy themselves as a regular, normal retired couple.Of course, things didn't work out exactly as planned. Harry and Bess Truman weren't 'just any retired couple'; they were the former President and First Lady. This is a travel guide and history of that extraordinary, never-repeated journey from Independence, MO to Washington D.C., New York City, and Philadelphia. Along the way, we meet friends, enemies, and ordinary citizens, along with charming locales and extraordinary places. Some of the places are long gone; others look much the same as the did in 1953. Not a deep book, but certainly entertaining.

      I read this book with the Missouri Readers Group. It had been on my shelf for a few months (on loan from my dad), and the group read bumped it to the top of my TBR stack. I am SO glad that I read it. I really enjoyed this book!The subtitle of the book – The True Story of a Great American Road Trip – only partially captures what this book is about. Algeo does tell the story of Harry and Bess driving from Independence, Missouri to the East Coast to visit Washington, D.C., give a speech in Philadelphia, and see their daughter Bess in NYC. This alone is an interesting story. Before the days of Secret Service protection for ex-Presidents, Harry and Bess hoped to travel incognito. They didn’t quite accomplish that goal (greetings of “Hi Harry!” followed them almost everywhere they went). But Harry did drive himself with Bess riding co-pilot and cautioning him to slow down. This is not a comprehensive history of the Trumans. Instead it is more of a snapshot of a moment in their lives. When you travel with someone, you really get to know them, and I felt like I was traveling right along with Harry and Bess. However, the book is about more than the road trip. Algeo weaves in interesting side stories about the happenings of the day (including the execution of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg) and the history of highways, motels, and other road-trip related items of interest. Algeo retraced Harry and Bess’s route as well, so he provides insight into how things have changed in a little over 50 years. This was a quick read packed with interesting stories. I highly recommend it!

      Reading this book is like opening a time capsule and traveling back to the 1950's. Harry and Bess are out of a job and back in their hometown of Independence, Missouri, when they embark on this 2,500 mile round trip which included extended visits in Washington, D.C. and New York City. They traveled by themselves in their 1953 Chrysler New Yorker without reservations, stopping to eat when they were hungry and to sleep when they were tired. The only agenda they had was for Harry to give his first post-presidential speech in Philadelphia.The author recreates the famous couple's itinerary and gives us his own observations about how times have changed in the intervening 58 years. He is able to interview some "eye witnesses" and includes snapshots taken along the way. He travels down the side roads of history and trivia. The combination results in a delightful nostalgic look back at a different time in America with the gracious "Man from Missouri" as our tour guide.

      Onn June 19, 1953, Harry and Bess Truman packed up their car for a road trip to Philadelphia for him to address a convention of the Reserve Officers Association on June 26. There were no Secret Service agents for former presidents then, so they hopped in the car and drove. Algeo recounts their stops in various cities along the way, as he also follows the same route, looking for the people and places they visited. It's interesting the way that he casually combines history, events from the Trumans trip, and his own asides. A quick read, interesting and fun.
    • 5/5
      This was a fast and entertaining book, providing a wealth of information in a relaxed manner. A perfect book for an afternoon on the beach or a cold winter's night, it will teach you things about an America that's long past and people who 'tried to do the right thing' most of the time. Following the path of Harry and Bess must have been quite a learning experience for the author: I'm SO jealous!
    • 4/5
      While not War & Peace (Thank goodness), a quite charming book, evocative of the era. A tale of Harry & Bess Truman's road travels and encounters shortly after he left the presidency; a trip taken without Secret Service or other protection. Interwoven in the story is Algeo's recreation of the road trip and the story of Harry's concerns about money since there was no presidential pension in those days. A quick, very enjoyable read.The cover, showing a photo through a car windshield, is worth the price. It shows Harry and Bess in the car; Bess looking like she is telling Harry something and Harry looking like he just cleaned out his friends at poker. It's actually too appropriate a photo for the book; I'm suspicious.

      The last book I read about Harry Truman was the massive tome David McCullough wrote ... that took me two summers to finish. I finished Harry Truman's Excellent Adventure in an afternoon. What a fun book!Just a year after he left the White House, Harry and Bess took a road trip out east, where Harry was to deliver an address to an association of Army Reserve officers -- of which Harry was one. Matthew Algeo researched the trip, interviewed people who met the ex-president and ex-First Lady during their road trip, and (as far as possible) followed in their footsteps, up to and including a brief appearance in the audience of the Today Show. The author intersperses an account of the Trumans' trip with his updates on the places -- restaurants, hotels, private homes and gas stations -- where the couple stopped. It drives home the fact that things have changed, that Harry's world no longer exists. It also compares the life of ex-presidents today with their counterparts in earlier times ... and goes into Truman's friendship with Herbert Hoover. Harry Truman's Excellent Adventures is a slim volume, a quick read ... and what fun! I usually don't comment on a book's physical characteristics, but the paper on which this book is printed is rich and luxurious -- a great contrast to the paper most publishers use today, which is possibly one step above newsprint. 8/1/2010

      Harry Truman is in my view the most American of our recent Presidents -- by which I mean he seemed to encompass the values and beliefs of regular people of his era. This wonderful book chronicles his brief car vaction across the US, and it more than held my attention for all of its pages. I've always liked Harry as an historical figure but this book gives you a look into his more human side. The humorous tone of this book seems wonderfully fitting of this wonderful man.
    • 4/5
      A One-of-a-Kind President!This was an interesting book that was a combination of history, anecdotes about Harry Truman and his wife, Bess, and facts about both the politics and financial difficulties of being a former President of the United States in the period before any provision was made for a presidential pension of any kind. And, an expense account for office space, staff and postage expenses was unheard of.The difficulties of the Trumans even beginning to think that they might be able to travel the country freely by automobile without being recognized and treated as celebrities is humorously addressed.A section of the book explains how Air Force One came to be the name used for the aircraft conveying the President during his air travels.Not a rip snorter, by any means, but, it moves right along and shows clearly some of the humanity of both the former president and the former first lady.The prices of lunches , dinners, gasoline and hotel rooms "back in the day" are astonishing both to read about and to believe, compared to present day expenses for the same goods and services.Though Truman's approval rating was very low when he left office, he was treated in a warm and friendly manner by the folks whom he met along the way on his trip back East from his home in Independence, MO.I would recommend this book to any reader interested in Truman, recent political history pertaining to the presidency and a pre-tabloid style of writing that reveals something of the real man behind the facade of the office.Four stars. ****

    • 4/5
      An easy and fun read. Through his description of Harry and Bess Truman's 1953 road trip to see their daughter in New York and old friends in DC, Matthew Algeo takes a look at an America of not so very long ago. It seems like a different era when a former president could dare to do such a thing. There was no Secret Service protection for ex-presidents back then. The Trumans stayed in hotels, motels or with friends, and they often ate in the same places ordinary Americans frequented. With this story as a framework, Algeo looks at changes in the American way of life. It is surprising how much Algeo discovered about what the Trumans did (and ate) on their trip, the last such trip they took.

      In June of 1953, after he had been out of office for five month, Harry Truman loaded eleven suitcases into his new Chrysler New Yorker, along with his wife Bess, and embarked on a road trip to New York and back. At that time, Presidents did not have secret service protection after they left office, nor did they receive a pension. So Harry and his wife, ever frugal, stayed in cheap hotels, mooched off friends along the raod and ate at roadside diners. In doing so, he apparently had the time of his life - schmoozing with reporters and ordinary citizens and expounding on life and politics.This is a delightful book about a remarkable man who has become more remarkable as the years pass & we compare him to the more venal politicians who we have to contend to today.It's summer. Read this book & put a smile on your face.
