You might be thinking of President Wilson. If you're genuinely curious about Coolidge, here is an interesting recent biography of him: https://www.amazon.com/Coolidge-Amity-Shlaes/dp/0061967599
>Think for yourself
Coolidge is not talked about much in schools, and rightly so. He was a boring man who served between two of the most important wars in human history and before the most significant economic event in modern history. If you want to learn about him, it's 100% up to you - no one is force-feeding you Calvin Coolidge facts.
Everything I've learned about Coolidge has been on my own time. Long before I joined Reddit, or any other online forum, I had looked him up for myself and formed my own opinion of him. It shouldn't surprise you that the most Libertarian president we've had in a long time would be popular on a Libertarian subreddit.
I found this photo in a biography by Amity Shlaes called Coolidge.

I think it'll be tough finding a Coolidge biography that doesn't make political points in one direction or another, given that 1) he was an explicitly political figure who had essentially no historical significance except as a politician, and 2) his political beliefs are extra-relevant to the modern American political context.
That disclaimer aside, I highly recommend Amity Shlaes' excellent biography.
