Jackie,
ReplyDeleteThe range of pictures you included was fantastic--pictures, newspaper headlines, posters/flyers, political cartoons, and a portrait. I think your presentation does a nice job of moving throughout his early life and political career. I was interested if Truman had any children, and if not, why? (I will most likely do a short investigation for my own peace of mind.) Anyway, I thought you did a great job depicting Truman's life pictorially.

Yes, he had one daughter, Margaret. I should have included a picture with her...maybe I'll add one in.
