Wednesday, June 20, 1923. Leaving on the Voyage of Understanding.

President Harding left the White House, for the last time in his life, to begin his whistle-stop tour of the West. The trip was billed a "Voyage of Understanding" and was even intended to have a detour to Alaska.

The President also relinquished control of his newspaper, The Marion Star.  The paper still exists.

Automatic weapons, one of the things that made the Roaring Twenties roar, were making their appearance.
