Brady Carlson is a longtime public radio host, writer and presidential enthusiast - all of which prompted him to travel to all the gravesites of the US presidents, research the stories behind the sites, and share what he learned in his book "Dead Presidents" (W.W. Norton & Company, 2016.) "Dead Presidents" takes readers on an epic trip to presidential gravesites, monuments and memorials, telling the surprising origin stories of famous spots like the Washington Monument and Mount Rushmore, while introducing readers to lesser-known and surprising places like Millard Fillmore's grave in Buffalo, N.Y. - just yards away from the grave of funk legend Rick James – and a town in Iowa that plays a sport known as Hoover-Ball. A.J. Jacobs called "Dead Presidents" "the funniest and most entertaining book about death you'll read this year - and my favorite book about corpses since Mary Roach's 'Stiff.'" Robert Sullivan described the book as "a terrific investigation of the post-life presidency, a rollicking but always thoughtful exploration of the after-the-White-House whereabouts of the forever former chief executives. Brady Carlson is the perfect road-trip companion, smart and good-hearted," Brady lives in Madison, Wisconsin with his family.
