Description

As Margaret Truman knows from direct knowledge, residing in the White House could be frustrating and exciting, worrying and exhausting–but it's certainly never boring. Part fish bowl, part personal home, and part national shrine, the White House is both most significant target in The Usa and the most intensely scrutinized. Within this marvelous mixture of the private and historical, Margaret Truman provides an unique visit of “the president’s house” over the period of two centuries.Opened (although not completed) in 1800 and initially named a “palace,” the White House hasbeen intriguing from day-one. In Jones Jefferson’s evening, it had been a reeking building site where congressmen reported of the risks of available garbage sets.
