Description
A comprehensive work about the first families' children, this is the only book available that treats these privileged few at any depth. The reading is enjoyable, answering questions such as, "What happened to...?" and, "Did this president have any children?" The book also is informative, glimpsing the lives of a few who have been shoved into the limelight at a certain period and for generations to come. Historically, the work functions sometimes as a period piece, sometimes as a human interest piece, but it always serves to help bring to life our first families. Included (where possible and/or appropriate) are the vital statistics of birth, marriage, education, development, profession, and death. The book is a good read, but it also serves an historical function.
Reviews:
-
This represents a step forward in the knowledge about the offspring of the United States' presidents and helps to illustrate the fact that with the exception of James Buchanan(the only presidents to never marry), the election of a new president represents not only an individual ascending to office but also a family beginning a new life. ... This book is well written and informative, and is unique in that it describes in-depth the lives of the president's children. Itis recommended for all libraries.
