With the holidays upon us, it's a great time to buy gifts from independent bookstores. Here are a few recommendations for the people on your list. Even if your local store doesn't have them in stock, they can always order for you and will be so grateful for the business! 🧵👇

Never taught one. Never taken one. Never seen one. And that is so wrong.

Hey #twitterstorians, has anyone taught a class on First Ladies? Thinking it might be a fresh spin on presidential history for students.

[Roxy Haji @OldNewsCo]

@TheDevilHistory Oh boy!!!!

@TheDevilHistory That guy carrying his coat over his shoulder looks so cool.

#OTD in 1940, #potus 32 (FDR) appointed the first Black general in the U.S. Army, Benjamin O. Davis Sr. #history

#OTD in 1929 the British Privy Council overrules the Supreme Court of Canada & declares women persons

Let me repeat this: otd in 1929 Canadian women are legally considered persons

You can thank these boss ladies, the Valiant 5, for the change, which let women sit in the Senate.

Happy Birthday to Dwight D. Eisenhower, the last #potus born in the 19th century 🎉🎊 #history

[Roxy Haji @OldNewsCo]

I hate my side profile, but I LOVE this wall of animals. Lincoln loved animals, too, especially cats 😻 He also had goats, rabbits, a dog, a horse, and even spared the life of the ceremonial turkey on Thanksgiving, granting it an “order of reprieve.” 👏

#OTD in 1901 Theodore Roosevelt changes the name of the “Executive Mansion” to the White House. A year later First Lady Edith would start construction on what is now The West Wing, giving the president a separate area to do president stuff. #history

[Roxy Haji @OldNewsCo]

@AndrewGnash Oh yeah totally forgot he even exists

[Roxy Haji @OldNewsCo]

Did you know Camp David, the #potus retreat in Maryland, is named after Dwight D. Eisenhower’s grandson? It used to be called Shangri-La, but Ike thought the name was too fancy and changed it in 1953. #history

@AndrewGnash Ok just checking 😋

[Roxy Haji @OldNewsCo]

@AndrewGnash Wait, George or Marty?
