Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this New York Times bestseller, the White House chief usher for nearly three decades offers a behind-the-scenes look at America’s first families. J. B. West, chief usher of the White House, directed the operations and maintenance of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue—and coordinated its daily life—at the request of the president and his family. He directed state functions; planned parties, weddings and funerals, gardens and playgrounds, and extensive renovations; and, with a large staff, supervised every activity in the presidential home. For twenty-eight years, first as assistant to the chief usher, then as chief usher, he witnessed national crises and triumphs, and interacted daily with six consecutive presidents and first ladies, as well as their parents, children and grandchildren, and houseguests—including friends, relatives, and heads of state. J. B. West, whom Jackie Kennedy called “one of the most extraordinary men I have ever met,” provides an absorbing, one-of-a-kind history of life among the first ladies. Alive with anecdotes ranging from Eleanor Roosevelt’s fascinating political strategies to Jackie Kennedy’s tragic loss and the personal struggles of Pat Nixon, Upstairs at the White House is a rich account of a slice of American history that usually remains behind closed doors.

This book was released on 2016-05-23 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In February 1864 Francis B. Carpenter began work on his painting First Reading of the Emancipation Proclamation. He would go on to spend six months in the White House and in the company of Abraham Lincoln at the height of the American Civil War. First published in 1866, just one year after Abraham Lincoln's assassination, Francis B. Carpenter provides us with a deeply personal portrait of one of the most iconic figures of American history. Nonetheless, this book is primarily about the president and his cabinet in 1864. Carpenter provides an insightful account of the nature of politics and his experiences meeting with the host of politicians that attended the White House in his time there. William Seward, Edwin Stanton and Ulysses S. Grant amongst others fill the pages as the supporting cast for the monumental Lincoln. Six Months at the White House contains a collection of anecdotes about Abraham Lincoln and helps to put a human face to the man who has become more legend than man. Whether it is Lincoln reciting Shakespeare at dinner or including his youngest son Tad in meetings of state, Carpenter provides a well-rounded picture of the American president. In turn, he presents Lincoln as the merciful leader, the stern father, the sage law-giver, and the consummate storyteller. Through both his own experiences and the opinions of several other individuals who knew Lincoln well, Carpenter creates a personal account of the man than later histories and biographies. 'It remains an essential volume in any Lincoln library.' The New York Times Francis Bicknell Carpenter (1830-1900) was a painter born in New York, best known for his painting of the First Reading of the Emancipation Proclamation, still displayed in the Capitol building in Washington, DC. Carpenter painted the portraits for four American presidents and many more of the most important pre-Civil War politicians. A fervent abolitionist, he viewed the Emancipation Proclamation as "an act unparalleled for moral grandeur in the history of mankind."

Download or read book The Inner Life of Abraham Lincoln written by Francis B. Carpenter and published by . This book was released on 2023-03-04 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1864, an ambitious young painter named Francis Bicknell Carpenter approached Abraham Lincoln with a proposal: he wanted to paint a grand portrait of the President and his entire Cabinet to commemorate the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation. What followed was a six-month project in the White House, where the artist had the opportunity to observe Lincoln in his day-to-day activities. Carpenter later wrote down his recollections from this period and published them as "The Inner Life of Abraham Lincoln" in 1866. It went on to become one of the most popular books about Lincoln in the immediate aftermath of his assasination. The original book is republished here in its entirety, with a contextual Introduction from historian S. C. Straley.
