5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent,
By Washington DC Guy "Robert" (Washington DC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The White House, An Historic Guide (Paperback)
An excellent book on the History of the White House and the people that have lived and worked there. Great pictures, past and present, and an easy to read narrative. The White House furnishings themselves could be a museum and they key ones are detailed. In addition it gives an overview of many of the well and lesser known events that have taken place. Also interesting to read about family life of the President's during the past 200+ years.
