Meet the Author - Bob Crawford
July 28, 2026 | 6:30 pm | In-store | $35 ticket & book
Bob Crawford is a Grammy-nominated bassist for The Avett Brothers and co-host of The Road to Now Podcast.
“Bob Crawford’s America’s Founding Son is a riveting account of the extraordinary life of John Quincy Adams, America’s sixth president. Adams touched nearly every great issue of his time: liberty, expansion, democracy, and the fight for human freedom. His story is not just the tale of one man’s life, but of the birth, contradictions, and enduring promise of the United States itself. Adams’s unyielding moral vision and lifelong devotion to service and principle, often at the expense of popularity, make him a figure of uncommon integrity in American history. It’s a story all the more meaningful today.”
— Ken Burns, filmmaker
“Brilliantly rendered...Every page crackles with fresh insights and telling anecdotes.”
—Douglas Brinkley,
New York Times bestselling author, and professor of history at Rice University
"John Quincy Adams has had no shortage of biographers, but Bob Crawford's America’s Founding Son presents a fresh and exciting new take on the life of one of the most remarkable Americans of his era. With his engaging and highly readable style, Crawford admirably captures the man and his times. America’s Founding Son is an excellent addition to the literature on America's sixth president."
— James M. Bradley,
author of Martin Van Buren: America's First Politician
“To both his podcasts and his book, America’s Founding Son, Bob Crawford brings a fun and engaging flare that all fellow history enthusiasts will love. Can’t wait for him to take on his next subject.”
––Douglas Brunt,
New York Times bestselling author of The Mysterious Case of Rudolf Diesel
