This history book is an account of the social and domestic lives of the American Presidents and First Ladies from 1789–1881. The author says, "In the historical works of the age—even in the biographies of the Presidents themselves—not much has been said of women who, for the most part, were powerful adjuncts to their popularity, and exerted great influence over their lives. " This book makes up in part for that missing information.
