Herbert Hoover
Herbert Hoover ran the country during one the hardest times in American history. Hoover was born in Iowa but raised in Oregon before going on to study at Stanford University during its opening year, where he found his true love, marrying her years later. Before he entered the world of politics, he was a businessman who spent most of his time working in China. When WWI broke out Hoover happened to be in Europe, and was recognized for evacuating over 120,000 Americans from France and Germany. Hoover was President during the great stock market crash and the beginning of the Great Depression. Imagine running the country during the worst economic crisis ever…yeah, neither can we!
