Nice Review of FIRST HOUSE
A nice review of First House appeared in the Williamsburg, VA, Regional Library blog. It ends like this:
“The book is beautifully designed and has wonderful photos, prints, and engravings. There are also little sidebars of trivia and information that are fun to read, like the story of the painting given to the mansion by Nancy Langhorne Astor, the first female member of the House of Commons, as well as the stories of the mansion’s ghosts. One of Virginia’s recent First Ladies called the Executive Mansion “a happy house” and that happiness certainly comes across in this book. It doesn’t matter whether you are a Democrat, a Republican or an Independent, any Virginian will find this book fascinating because the story of the Executive Mansion is also the story of Virginia.”
