Presidents SECRET HOBBIES

Описание: Behind the official portraits and grand speeches, America’s presidents had private hobbies that were often surprising, sometimes eccentric, and always revealing. From George Washington’s passion for breeding mules to John Adams taking naked swims in the Potomac River, from Thomas Jefferson collecting mastodon bones to James Madison filling notebooks with studies of ancient confederacies, these unusual pastimes show us the real people behind the presidency. Their interests brought them comfort, challenge, and a break from the enormous pressures of leading a nation.

This video uncovers the most unexpected presidential hobbies in American history, including Andrew Jackson’s deadly dueling habit, Martin Van Buren’s obsession with high fashion, John Tyler’s love of the violin, Zachary Taylor’s constant tobacco chewing, Abraham Lincoln’s wrestling matches, Ulysses S Grant’s horse racing, Rutherford B Hayes raising exotic pets, Chester Arthur redesigning White House rooms, Warren Harding’s late night poker games, Calvin Coolidge riding a mechanical horse, and Herbert Hoover inventing the fast paced game of Hooverball.
