Love, Lust, and Longing in the White House: The Romantic Relationships of America's PResidentsEntry/Object ID
2015.4.223Description
Mr. Garrison attempts to tell relate stories of the romances of America's Presidents. While some of the stories may be factually acurate, the chapter on the McKinleys is full of misinformation. The authr states that the McKinleys occupied the White House for eight years, when in truth they lived there four and half years. The fact that McKinley served as governor of Ohio for two terms (1891 through 1895), and that the reason for his nnot being re-elected to Coongress in 1890 are completely glossed-over. According to the author, the sinking of the battleship Maine occured after the start of the Spanish-American War, and not that the war occured because of the sinking of the Maine. Obviously, the author should have couble checked his facts before publication!
Paperback. the front cover features a photo of the White House at night, with the title at the top and author's name at the bottom. the back features a dark background with a brief synopsis of the book in white letters.Collection
