The Intimate Lives of the Founding Fathers

by Thomas Fleming

Book Overview

In The Intimate Lives of the Founding Fathers from Smithsonian Books, historian Thomas Fleming, author of The Perils of Peace, offers a fresh look at the critical role of women in the lives of Washington, Franklin, Adams, Jefferson, Hamilton, and Madison. Fleming nimbly takes readers through a great deal of early American history, as our founding fathers struggle to reconcile the private and public-and often deal with a media every bit as gossip-seeking and inflammatory as ours today.
