To mark John F. Kennedy's centennial, celebrate the life and legacy of the 35th President of the United States.
A selection of more than 300 images--including family letters,
personal ephemera, and captivating photographs--collected by Rose
Fitzgerald Kennedy, many never seen before, featuring the beloved and
revered Kennedy family: This remarkable history dates from 1878 through
1946--up to the aftermath of WWII and the beginning of JFK's political
career--and covers everything from the family's first home to beach
vacations, from children's birthdays to first Communions. The images
capture the formative years of a uniquely American dynasty, imparting a
glowing nostalgia to the period and detailing the family's progress as
it grows from a pair of turn-of-the-century newlyweds into a populous,
vibrant clan of hopeful young men and women on the brink of their
brilliant destinies. This is a piece of Americana that readers will
treasure.
