This is the first book of its kind to give narrative detail not only on the immediate families of the Presidents but on their ancestries and descendents. "American Presidential Families" coves every occupant of the White House from Washington to Clinton. Except in the case of Clinton, whose administration is too young to permit an overview of his political achievements (although the latest research on his relatives is covered), each president is discussed in two essays. One examines his career as a statesman, the other his family background. Letters, diaries, and private information have been used as well as published sources such as biographies. In addition there are tables giving details of presidential ancestors and descendants, together with pictures not just of every president but of his wife or wives and other members of his family where they played a significant role in his career.
