Funny thing. I came across this reference to ‘Franklin Pierce‘ getting arrested for riding over an old woman in the ‘Audible‘ book I am currently listening to, viz. ‘Mad Honey‘. I had never heard of that. We all keep getting told that ‘Trump’ is the first. Yes, I had heard that my hero ‘Ulysses S. Grant‘ was ‘stopped’ (if not arrested) for reckless horse-riding. But, this allegation about New Hampshire’s own (& only) was new. I had to look it up.

I quickly realized that this might NOT have been exactly as portrayed BUT that there was ‘something’ there — i.e., some fairly serious accident involving the President. Maybe he wasn’t arrested per se. But, I wanted to bring it to YOU attention since it is so topical.
