 Just wanted to take a second and share some new blurbs by three presidential historians that I admire. They were kind enough to write these up for my new book Lincoln’s Ghost.

“Even a president as down to earth as Harry Truman sometimes wondered if the White House was haunted. Is it? In Lincoln’s Ghost, Robert Buccellato goes searching for the answer. Along the way he brings to life the many strange, weird, and paranormal things our commanders in chief and their families have encountered. Combining rigorous history with ghost stories, Lincoln’s Ghost is at turns humorous and, yes, haunting. It’s thoroughly enjoyable, but it might make you want to sleep with the lights on!”







Matthew Algeo, Author of Harry Truman’s Excellent Adventure


“Robert Buccellato writes a mean, coolly, deliberate, and pointed prose, bringing to life ghosts long past. A great, informative, and (dare I say it) haunting book!”


- Jim Yoakum, author of The Bloviator: Sex, Drugs, Fraud, Suicide, Murder, Scandal, Adultery, Quackery, Corruption, Superstition and President Warren G. Harding.




“Lincoln’s Ghost” is a whimsical book full of Presidential ghost stories and lore from the creative mind of Robert Buccellato — the remarkable gentleman who brought you “Rumrunners and Moonshiners of Old Florida” and “Jimmy Carter in Plains: The Presidential Hometown.” Buccellato’s love of American History and natural ability for storytelling shines in this compelling compilation of spooky tales with mysterious ties to our American First Families and the haunted afterlife. It’s the perfect mix of fiction, speculation and campfire style ghost stories for anyone with an interest in our past Presidents.”

Andrew Och — The First Ladies Man — Author of “Unusual for their Time: On the Road with America’s First Ladies” VOL1&2



Lincoln’s Ghost is a new book that recounts all the humorous and odd history of White House/ Presidential ghosts and myths.

Lillian Carter A Compassionate life book Review

My book review of this great book by  Grant Hayter-Menzies

To call this book masterful would not be an overstatement. Grant Hayter – Menzies has done something near impossible, he has managed to remind a nation about one of its own neglected treasures. “Lillian Carter A compassionate life” starts off with a lovingly written foreword by Former President Jimmy Carter, the subject’s first born son. Many people reading this may instantly get images that this foreword in nothing more than a few quickly written sentences. This is not the case, and showcases President’s deep love for his deceased mother.

Menzies’ writing is nuanced and breezy. His visuals are compelling and revealing. The town of Plains and the backdrop of poverty stricken India are presented with haunting clarity. Lillian Carter is a detailed and fully formed human being in this biography and Menzies’ has managed to display the Carter family with all it’s great strengths and complexities. This was a literary experience that any fan of American History should undertake with great speed, an experience that I didn’t want to end.

Jimmy Carter in Plains Book Endorsement by Kevin Mattson

I am very honored to present the book endorsement made by author Kevin Mattson, the author of several exceptional books including "What the heck are you up to Mr President" and "Just Plain Dick."

"This marvelous little book shines light on the truly populist campaign that landed Jimmy Carter in the White House.  You can actually SEE the authentic and regular-guy style of Jimmy Carter at work.  The images of Carter's small-town background are especially compelling.  Political and historical junkies will find this book a great piece of entertainment that doesn't discount the moral and visionary heft that Jimmy Carter brought to Washington, D.C."
-Kevin Mattson, Author of "What the heck are you up to Mr President."
