    •  This campaign truck for Herbert Hoover advertises “talking pictures,” which were to 1928 what Twitter was to 2008! We're continuing our American Archives Month celebration on our Pieces of History blog. Today's spotlight is on the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library and Museum in West Branch, Iowa. The library has an unusual location: it's inside of a National Park. And the archival contents are no less unusual. Along with official Presidential correspondence, there is flour sack art, typescript drafts of several of Laura Ingalls Wilder's "Little House" books, and paintings from World War I in support of the Food Administration. Learn more about the material available for research or plan a visit to the museum: http://go.usa.gov/YRRx Photo via http://ourpresidents.tumblr.com

    •  After losing to Roosevelt in the 1932 Presidential election, Herbert Hoover was turned into a political outcast and few people wanted to be associated with him politically. Although Hoover offered his assistance to Roosevelt, he never had the chance to visit the White House during Roosevelt's long tenure as President. Hoover finally had the opportunity to provide a public service again when President Harry S. Truman called upon him in 1945 to assist in feeding war torn Europe. You can learn more about Hoover and Truman's friendship at both the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library and Museum and at the Harry S Truman National Historic Site.

      I just love the museum because I learn more every time I visit and of course, for me, the prairie is the best added touch of reality!
