Forthcoming Titles


Homes of the First Ladies

William G. Clotworthy, author of Homes and Libraries of the Presidents; Presidential Sites; and In the Footsteps of George Washington, and a leading authority on sites that honor these leaders, brings us yet another historical guidebook -- this time focusing on sites that commemorate and interpret the First Ladies of the United States. In Clotworthy's usual flowing prose and easy-to-use format, Homes of the First Ladies: A Guide to Publicly Accessible Homes, Museums, and Related Sites contains a brief introductory chapter that reviews the changing role of First Ladies in American history and summarizes the recent growth of sites that commemorate these women, and then systematically provides basic information about each First Lady and the publicly accessible sites that commemorate her. Specifically, for each First Lady, Clotworthy provides a brief biographical sketch, and then identifies, describes, and provides access information about one or more sites at which her life and legacy are interpreted.

Release date September 2010.
