How much do you really know about the first 42 men to occupy the highest political office in United States? Have you even heard of some of these guys? The following crossword contains 21 facts: one devoted to each president from George Washington to Chester Arthur. They range from humorous to bizarre to ironic to little-known to just sort of interesting. However, like the presidents themselves, some of these tidbits are more memorable than others.
My source for this particular puzzle is the following book:

I recommend it to anyone who’s interested in reading entertaining biographies and learning largely obscure facts about the presidents; even the presidents who were pretty obscure themselves. The book has no agenda other than showing that presidents are just as human as anyone else. There is more interesting information about some of these presidents than what I share, but in that case, it didn’t work as well in a crossword puzzle. Speaking of which, you should try to solve the puzzle before looking at the page on Amazon, since some of the answers are listed there.
Below are the names of the first 21 presidents in the order they served. The underlined portions of each name are what you should enter into the puzzle if a name is called for. Not all answers will be names, however, as some clues name a president and seek other information. In either case, don’t use spaces in your answer. For example, enter John Adams as JADAMS.
George Washington John Adams Thomas Jefferson
James Madison James Monroe John Quincy Adams
Andrew Jackson Martin Van Buren William Henry Harrison
John Tyler James Polk Zachary Taylor
Millard Fillmore Franklin Pierce James Buchanan
Abraham Lincoln Andrew Johnson Ulysses Grant
Rutherford Hayes James Garfield Chester Arthur
Two Harrisons and two Johnsons have served as president, but the second president to bear each of those names can be found in "Presidential Puzzle, Part 2"  [13+] along with the rest of the next 21 chief executives.
