Mr. President radio theater

Here are some links for the old time radio theater show Mr. President. I believe the intent is for children to listen to the broadcast and then guess which president is being described.

For your reference, I have labeled them.

George Washington

Thomas Jefferson

James Monroe

Andrew Jackson

Andrew Jackson, episode 76


Zachary Taylor

Franklin Pierce

Allan Pinkerton, President Abraham Lincoln, and General John A. McClernand, photo taken shortly after the Civil War’s first battle on northern soil in Antietam, Maryland on October 3, 1862. Pinkerton was the head of Union Intelligence Services at the time. He also, allegedly, foiled an assassination attempt against Lincoln. Pinkertonlater pioneered the American private detective industry when he formed Pinkerton’s National Detective Agency.

Abraham Lincoln
