3. Jefferson and Adams on July 4, 1806?

I'm going from memory here........it was on an anniversary of our nation's founding, that much I'm sure.

[Donna Zen]

4. Fourth of July...Adams

I didn't have to look it up because that little piece of history ranks as: stranger than fiction. One tends to remember it.

[Pendrench]

5. Adams and Jefferson on July 4, 1826.

Although right before he died Adams is supposed to have said "Jefferson survives!" Jefferson had actually died earlier that day.

10. Great book on Presidential assassination, "Assassination Vacation"

By Sarah Vowell.

http://www.amazon.com/Assassination-Vacation-Sarah-Vowell/dp/074326004X/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1207442248&sr=8-1

From School Library Journal
Adult/High School–Vowell has a perspective on American history that is definitely funny. She visits museums, historic sites, statues, libraries, anything remotely relevant to successful presidential assassins, and a few of those not so successful. This is an amusing way to learn history, but it is also an unusual look at the interconnectedness of things. Robert Todd Lincoln, a.k.a. Jinxy McDeath, was present, or nearly so, at three assassinations–his father's, Garfield's, and McKinley's. To understand Garfield's assassin, the author spends time at the Oneida Colony in upstate New York, a religious commune that preached a combination of free love and the second coming, and connects it with Jonathan Edwards. She tracks the Lincoln conspirators through the process of plot and escape to hanging and imprisonment, even describing Dr. Mudd's enormous contribution when the plague hit the prison island of Dry Tortuga. Garfield's assassin was deeply involved in the redirection of the Republican Party after the Civil War, and McKinley's was an anarchist following, he thought, the tenets of Emma Goldman. There are family anecdotes and real scholarship in this quirky road trip. Teens will get an interesting view of one aspect of American history while picking up odd bits of information about a whole lot more. There is much to enjoy in this discursive yet somehow cohesive book.–Susan H. Woodcock, Fairfax County Public Library, VA
