Description

Thirty-four of our U.S. presidents have been the fathers of girls, & most of them took time from their public lives to write moving letters to their growing daughters on a wide range of subjects. This correspondence often became a substitute for the intimacy of presence as the busy leaders traveled the globe. This collection of private letters, many of which are published here for the first time, offers an unparalleled view into the private lives, personalities, & concerns of our country’s highest-ranking citizens. Some are deeply personal -- others, surprisingly formal. You will experience gentle fatherly advice, stern admonition, & the kind of mutual concern & curiosity that is common to parents & children of all walks of life & every generation. Illustrations.
