Harry S. Truman
Within the first few months I discovered that being president is like riding a tiger. A man has to keep riding or be swallowed. The fantastically crowded nine months of 1945 taught me that a President either is constantly on top of events or, if he hesitates, events will soon be on top of him. I never felt I could let up for a single moment.
Harry S. Truman

Harry S. Truman
The newcomers quickly learned their way about and soon felt at home.

To the land-hungry immigrants, the tough prairie sod seemed a golden opportunity and they conquered it by hard work.
Harry S. Truman
