Dallas lawyer Talmage Boston’s first brush with presidential history came from his mom’s gift on his seventh birthday: trading cards with photos of presidents and facts about their time in office.
The Winstead shareholder took a much deeper dive into the world of presidential historians in more recent years with a series of more than 30 public interviews with history authors and former government insiders. He’s included those interviews in the book, Cross-Examining History: A Lawyer Gets Answers from the Experts About Our Presidents, which came out in September.
Boston, a civil litigator for almost 40 years, spoke with Texas Lawyer and about his perspective on Donald Trump’s upcoming presidency, seen through a historical lens. Here are his answers, edited for brevity and clarity.
