Rare has been the president whose life blended the individual drive that propels one to high office with the social responsibility of being a good, exemplary person in the eyes of one’s peers. Gerald R. Ford (1913-2006) was one of those rare men.In this biography Hendrik Booraem traces the early life of Gerald Ford in Grand Rapids, Michigan, to his high school graduation in 1931, showing how he developed the outlook and ideals that he brought to the White House. Ford’s childhood offers telling glimpses of family and school, sports and recreation, and Western Michigan life in the Jazz Age and the Depression. Amply illustrated with photos from the 1920s and ’30s, Young Jerry Ford brings the 38th President of the United States to life in new ways.
