Did You Know?
Herbert Hoover's vice president Charles Curtis was of almost half American Indian ancestry? Curtis’ mother was one quarter Kaw, one quarter Pottawatomie and one quarter Osage.

In his picture he sorta looks like Walter Cronkhite.

He seemingly was in politics all his life. In the Congress from 1893 to 1907. In the Senate from 1907 to 1929 and then Vice President from 1929 to 1933. Forty years.
