Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Story of the White House, Vol. 1 of 2 In writing the history of the White House, I have confined myself to the social life of the Presidents and their families while its occupants. I have strictly avoided any reference to the political turmoils of which the Executive Mansion was necessarily the centre. There is such an enormous amount of material on which to draw that the task of selection has been an onerous one; but, in all cases, I have chosen the lighter and more picturesque points of view when the opportunity offered. The authorities on which I have drawn consist of histories, memoirs, travels, biographies, diaries, letters, official documents, and newspapers. In selecting the accounts of White House entertainments and celebrations of all kinds, I have quoted from the news letters of those correspondents whose reports seemed to be least tinged with prejudice or political bias.
