Famous Last Words

Thomas Jefferson and John Adams both died on July 4, 1826, and both were the only signers of the Declaration of Independence to become a President of the United States. On his deathbed, Jefferson’s last words were: “Is it the fourth?” and Adams’s last words were: “Thomas Jefferson survives.” But Adams was wrong. Thomas Jefferson had actually died a few hours before. One other U.S. President died on July 4th: President James Monroe who died on July 4, 1831. Only one U.S. President, Calvin Coolidge, was born on July 4th (1872).

George Washington

“There is nothing which can better deserve your patronage, than the promotion of science and literature. Knowledge is in every country the surest basis of public happiness.”
