My Fellow Americans: The Inaugural Addresses of the U.S. Presidents

History


Ronald Reagan delivered his first inaugural address on January 20th, 1981. Elected after the single-term presidency of Jimmy Carter, Reagan was no stranger to politics. He served as Governor of California from 1967 to 1975. He ran for the presidency in 1976, against Gerald Ford for the Republican nomination, but lost after Ford secured just a hundred more delegates than him. He was just shy of his 70th birthday when he was inaugurated, the oldest president at the time (until Donald Trumps swearing-in on January 20th, 2017). The cover art is a photo of Ronald Reagan by Pete Souza.
