He is the only Founding Father without a major memorial in the nation's capital. When he lamented that \"monuments will never be erected to me,\" he predicted as much. His pessimism was understandable, but it was unjustified: Adams has since been portrayed in numerous biographies, plays, musicals, poems, novels, and television shows.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This is the first comprehensive overview of John Adams as he appears in scholarship and in popular culture. The second president is one-dimensional at times, and perhaps best known to the public as \"obnoxious and disliked,\" but he is always fascinating. The varied ways in which biographers and artists represented Adams provide a glimpse into his character. These portrayals also provide insight into the various ways in which people continue to find meaning in the American Revolution and its aftermath. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMarianne Holdzkom\u003c\/b\u003e is an associate professor of history at Kennesaw State University in Kennesaw, Georgia, and specializes in the colonial and revolutionary periods of United States history.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51181811335442,"sku":"9781476683430","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_41da2773-54ca-4d3b-a8b5-e752f8c28056.jpg?v=1744403852","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/remembering-john-adams-the-second-president-in-history-memory-and-popular-culture-9781476683430","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
