Like his predecessors Washington, Jefferson, and Madison, James Monroe was the son of a Virginia farmer. He considered himself lucky to be able to go to school. His favorite subjects were Latin and mathematics. He loved to hunt and fish. The Virginia forests were filled with deer, rabbits, and squirrels, and the streams teemed with fish. When the time came for him to go to college, he attended William and Mary, like most other young men in Virginia. While in college, he studied law, but that did not last long.
