THE WOODROW WILSONS

by Eleanor Wilson in collaboration with Marg McAdoo ‧ RELEASE DATE: April 13, 1937

The youngest of the Wilson daughters gives an intimate glimpse of the home life of the family, in the early days at Princeton, when he was a struggling professor, on through the days as President of the University, when he was working towards an institution of higher standards in education. We have glimpses of them standing shoulder to shoulder through the political storm and stress, finally reaching the White House, where the story stops with the death of Mrs. Wilson. The book in filled with humorous touches, human slants on Woodrow Wilson, the close harmony of family life and particularly the understanding relation between the parents. Stories and aneodotes make a very live picture. Virtually all other material on Woodrow Wilson seems impersonal and colorless, stressing the intellect rather than the human being.
