Description

When this book was compiled in 1997, there were 12 presidential libraries, from that of Rutherford B. Hayes, which opened in 1916, to that of Pres. George H.W. Bush. This book etches the lives of these libraries -- their backgrounds, missions, similarities, & contrasts. Here is the story of how presidential libraries came to be -- & photographs of the buildings, exhibits, & presidents & their families. Here are prominent visitors, directions, hours, & dedication remarks -- & lyric essays on each president & his library. Each year, 1.5 million people visit the presidential libraries. Their lure: oral history passed from one generation to the next. “This book details what the libraries say about their namesakes -- & what the presidents say about us all. Illustrations.
