Herbert Clark Hoover was born August 10, 1874 in West Branch Iowa and died on October 20, 1964 he was the 31st president of the united states before he was president he was originally a professional mining engineer and author.He achieved American and international prominence in humanitarian relief efforts and served as head of the U.S. Food Administration before and during World War I. in the 1920's he was Secretary of Commerce under president under warren harding and calvin coolidge. in the election of 1928 he won the republican. despite having no elected-office experience. Hoover is the most recent cabinet secretary to be elected President of the United States. some of the things he did for the country is he set aside millions of acres for national and state parks wich helped wild life. He built many veterans hospitals for the vets of WW1. He got the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge built. He instituted prison reform. He began construction of the Boulder Dam wich was late named after him. He formulated what would later become FDR's 'Good Neighbor Policy' by withdrawing American troops from Central America.He had some failures. He proposed a national pension plan that Congress rejected. He proposed federal loans to clear slums, which also didn't go through. He tried to give low-income Americans a tax cut. His biggest failure, of course, was the Great Depression, which, especially in retrospect, was hardly his fault. He didn't believe in government solutions and didn't pursue legislative solutions until the very end of his term, and what attempts he did make to remedy the situation were ineffective.
my thoughts on herbert hoover is that he seemed to care about the country and wanted to help as much as he possibily could even though when he was president the great depression happend it wasnt all his fault. all around he was a good president
