In 4th grade we visited the Pierce Manse. The biddies of the Pierce Brigade pointed out the original wallpaper and the display on Commodore Perry opening up Japan to the West- or else. Which Pierce had nothing to do with. And they don’t tell you the Manse was nearly demolished and moved to it’s current site at the last minute. Locally Pierce is best remembered as the man who paved the way for the Civil War. I drive past his birthplace a dozen times a year but never stop- why would I?

Robert Wuhl got it wrong. All 3 of Pierce’s kids died while they were still kids. Barbara Bush is a direct descendant of one of Franklin Pierce’s brothers, not Franklin Pierce himself as Wuhl stated.
