An exploration of the records of first ladies will elicit diverse insights about the historical impact of these women in their times. Interpretive theories that explain modern first ladies are still tentative and exploratory. The contention in the essays, however, is that whatever direction historical writing on presidential wives may follow, there is little question that the future role of first ladies is more likely to expand than to recede to the days of relatively silent and passive helpmates. Following a foreword and an introduction, essays in the collection and their authors are, as follows: "Meeting a New Century: The Papers of Four Twentieth-Century First Ladies" (Mary M.

  • Ranking America's First Ladies Eleanor Roosevelt Still #1 Abigail Adams Regains 2 Place Hillary Moves from 2 to 5 ; Jackie
    For Immediate Release: Monday, September 29, 2003 Ranking America’s First Ladies Eleanor Roosevelt Still #1 nd Abigail Adams Regains 2 Place Hillary moves from 2 nd to 5 th ; Jackie Kennedy from 7 th th to 4 Mary Todd Lincoln Up From Usual Last Place Loudonville, NY - After the scrutiny of three expert opinion surveys over twenty years, Eleanor Roosevelt is still ranked first among all other women who have served as America’s First Ladies, according to a recent expert opinion poll conducted by the Siena (College) Research Institute (SRI). In other news, Mary Todd Lincoln (36 th ) has been bumped up from last place by Jane Pierce (38 th ) and Florence Harding (37 th ). The Siena Research Institute survey, conducted at approximate ten year intervals, asks history professors at America’s colleges and universities to rank each woman who has been a First Lady, on a scale of 1-5, five being excellent, in ten separate categories: *Background *Integrity *Intelligence *Courage *Value to the *Leadership *Being her own *Public image country woman *Accomplishments *Value to the President “It’s a tracking study,” explains Dr. Douglas Lonnstrom, Siena College professor of statistics and co-director of the First Ladies study with Thomas Kelly, Siena professor-emeritus of American studies. “This is our third run, and we can chart change over time.” Siena Research Institute is well known for its Survey of American Presidents, begun in 1982 during the Reagan Administration and continued during the terms of presidents George H. Bush, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush (http://www.siena.edu/sri/results/02AugPresidentsSurvey.htm ).

Thesis Prepared for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS May 2008 APPROVED: Richard G. Lowe, Major Professor Randolph B. Campbell, Committee Member Richard B. McCaslin, Committee Member Adrian R. Lewis, Chair of the Department of History Sandra L. Terrell, Dean of the Robert B.

Master of Arts (History), May 2008, 148 pp., bibliography, 106 titles. This thesis explores the impact of home front and battlefield morale on Texas’s civilian and military population during the Civil War. It addresses the creation, maintenance, and eventual surrender of Confederate nationalism and identity among Texans from five different counties: Colorado, Dallas, Galveston, Harrison, and Travis. The war divided Texans into three distinct groups: civilians on the home front, soldiers serving in theaters outside of the state, and soldiers serving within Texas’s borders. Different environments, experiences, and morale affected the manner in which civilians and soldiers identified with the Confederate war effort. This study relies on contemporary letters, diaries, newspaper reports, and government records to evaluate how morale influenced national dedication and loyalty to the Confederacy among various segments of Texas’s population. Copyright 2008 by Andrew F. Lang ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank Professors Richard Lowe, Randolph B. Campbell, and Richard B. McCaslin for their constant encouragement, assistance, and patience through every stage of this project.

That article “White House Health Secrets: How Historians View the Hidden Maladies of FDR and JFK,” by Joyce Latham, focused only on those two presidents. Personal Acknowledgments Many thanks to Thesis Committee members for reviews, contributions, and/or oversight: Dr. Marlana Portolano, Committee Chair; Dr. Karl Larew, Dr. Allaire Stallsmith, and Dr. Paul Miers, all of Towson University, and to Mr. Max Rose for help with fact checking. Special thanks to Dr. Portolano for giving her sabbatical time to coordinating this effort. iv Abstract Presidential Health Secrets: Reclaiming History’s Medical Unknowns Joyce E. Latham This thesis analyzes the role of illness in the administrations of three twentieth-century presidents—Woodrow Wilson, Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR), and John F. Kennedy (JFK)—who had serious health problems unknown to the mass media and the public in their respective eras. Some of that hidden information has been uncovered by historians and others. Wilson, for example, had a devastating stroke in October 1919, after which his wife and physician hid him in the White House, with the former functioning as an unofficial acting or co-president for many months.

VALOR, AND HOPE Copyright © 2013, Texas Historical Commission TEXAS HISTORICAL COMMISSION Texas in theCivil War The United States was rife with conflict and controversy in the years leading to the Civil War. Perhaps nowhere was the struggle more complex than in Texas. Some Texans supported the Union, but were concerned about political attacks on Southern institutions. Texas had been part of the United States just 15 years when secessionists prevailed in a statewide election. Texas formally seceded on March 2, 1861 to become the seventh state in the new Confederacy. Gov. Sam Houston was against secession, and struggled with loyalties to both his nation and his adopted state. His firm belief in the Union cost him his office when he refused to take anMarch oath of allegiance to the new government. 2, 1861 Gov. Sam Houston refused to declare loyalty to the Confederacy and was removed from office by the Texas secession convention in March 1861.

  • Zoom in on America American First Ladies the Office of the First Lady Did Not Formally Exist Until the Presidency of Jimmy Carter in the 1970S
    September 2014 A Monthly Publication of the U.S. Consulate Krakow Volume X. Issue 119 f i r s t l a d i e s Jacqueline Kennedy (AP Photo) In this issue: American First Ladies Zoom in on America American First Ladies The Office of the First Lady did not formally exist until the presidency of Jimmy Carter in the 1970s. First Ladies have, however, played a vital role since the founding of the United States. There have been 49 First Ladies in the history of the United States, and each has left an imprint on the presidency. With the passing of time, the role of the first Lady has risen in prominence. Along with women’s emancipation and the equal rights movement, the role of the First Lady also has changed significantly. Below is a list of the women who acted as First Ladies since 1789. Not all of the First Ladies were wives of the presidents. In a few cases, U.S. presidents were widowers when they took office or became widowers during office. In such cases a female relative played the role of First Lady.
