Dead Presidents
Now with Obituaries! ...And Ratings!
Designated (way back in 1991) one of the most
Useless WWW Pages
on the whole dang Internet!
And boy, am I proud!
(Gee, it looks like I've outlasted the Useless WWW Pages Website itself!)
If you're into dead presidents (and gosh, who isn't?), you came to the right
place. By simply clicking your mouse button, you can see pictures of me,
Manus Hand,
visiting the
final resting places of every one of them (save three — I'm still working
on it!) Prepare yourself for excitement and adventure (or at least for
a bunch of pictures of me standing in cemeteries, tombs, crypts, and
mausoleums).
And yes, you read it correctly! On the pages you're about to
visit, you will be able to read the obituary text published at the time
of the man's death -- fascinating and excellent sketch biographies and
accounts of the tragedies that befell the men who held the office.
[Currently, the obituaries or death notices are provided
for all of the Presidents except J.Q. Adams, Jackson, W.H. Harrison,
Polk, Taylor, McKinley, Nixon, and Ford.
After my fingers rest up, I'll add the others.]
And now, on with the show....
At this point, you're surely wondering, "Can there
possibly be even more I can read about these pages and your silly hobby?"
Frighteningly, yes! I happily present even more entertaining
tripe and (at the risk of actually making these pages useful)
links to related Web sites!
