to remember political events

I had no idea he had run for governor and President at the same time, until I saw his name on the list of 1960 presidential candidates. And I had studied Arkansas history in the early '70s, but our textbook ended with Governor Francis Cherry (1955-57)!. The textbook was already 14 or 15 years out of date before it was retired! And I can't remember any of my teachers mentioning it-- even the American Government and American History teachers.
