Description

Packed with more than 300 photographs from archives and private collections — many published here for the first time — entertaining anecdotes, political analysis, the dynamics of circle of relatives relationships, and at the back of-the-scenes gossip, America’s First Families offers the first up-close look at the families — from John and Abigail Adams in 1800 to Bill and Hillary Clinton — who have intrigued and entranced the American public for two centuries.
Carl Sferrazza Anthony opens the door to the world’s most famous residence to reveal life as it used to be in fact lived there. He is taking readers into the heart of loyalties and estrangements, and the emotional pressures that politics brings to bear upon the forty White House families, from their arrivals to their “notices to vacate.” Readers will enjoy an unprecedented tour of the prior to now unseen private rooms as used and decorated by each and every circle of relatives. Revealed too are the personal proclivities of the presidents and how their families both sustained them through public crises and were used for political advantage. They’re going to get a firsthand look at the preparations for White House weddings and other occasions; meet the parents and children of the presidents — in addition to eccentric relatives; and discover the patterns of working, resting, and relaxing that shaped the nuts and bolts of circle of relatives life.
A magnificent combination of visual delights and insider information, America’s First Families is an impossible to resist invitation to spend some time at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
