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.?-ARBA
