Synopsis

The cover picture to this book is one of the last ever taken of President Warren G. Harding and his wife, Florence, before their untimely deaths. It was taken in July, 1923 on board the U.S.S. Henderson during their trip to Alaska. Harding appears to be healthy, yet he died only a few days later. This plus a variety of other circumstances created suspicion that Harding had been murdered, especially since his wife, Florence, refused to agree to an autopsy. Then, Florence herself died only one year later. As to who would murder Harding and why, at the time of this photo Harding was tremendously popular, one of the most popular presidents ever had. Only a few years later, he came to be regarded as the worst president America ever had. The Teapot Dome Scandal was looming in the far distance, but troubles were starting to appear. Harding had at least two active mistresses, plus an illegitimate child. The General Public did not know about this but his wife probably did. Did all this add up to a recipe for murder, or did the robust, young and healthy President of the United States simply drop dead for no reason at all?
