  • Never a governor

  • Spoke out against slavery

  • Had a wooden leg, thanks to a wagon accident

  • Nicknamed the “Penman of the Constitution”

  • Died when he used a whale bone to clear a blockage from his urethra

Heather Rogers, America's Preeminent Presidential Doodler

I’ve read at least one book about every U.S. president, never tire of shoehorning presidential trivia into conversations, and am basically an expert at hiding mistakes in my sketchbooks.
