Publisher's Synopsis
United States Presidents' Inaugural Speeches (From George Washington To Donald Trump, 1789-2017) For more than 200 years, Americans have looked forward to the moment when the new President of the United States addresses the nation in an inaugural speech. It marks the start of a four-year term and renews hope for the future. This edition offers a complete set of those memorable and inspiring moments, from President George Washington's 1789 address to President Donald J. Trump's 2017 speech. Some do not consider John Tyler's address upon assuming the Office of President on April 9, 1841 to be an official inaugural speech. None-the-less, it is included in this volume for completeness.
