  • No Ordinary Time by Doris Kearns Goodwin About the Book…. This
    No Ordinary Time by Doris Kearns Goodwin About the book…. This book presents a chronicle of a nation and its leaders during the period when modern America was created. Presenting an aspect of American history that has never been fully told, Doris Kearns Goodwin writes a narrative account of how the United States of 1940, an isolationist country divided along class lines, still suffering the ravages of a decade-long depression and woefully unprepared for war, was unified by a common threat and by the extraordinary leadership of Franklin Roosevelt to become, only five years later, the preeminent economic and military power in the world. At the center of the country's transformation was the complex partnership of Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt. Franklin's main objective from the war's onset was victory, and he knew the war could not be won without focusing the energies of the American people and expanding his base of support - making his peace with conservative leaders and gaining the cooperation of big business. Eleanor, meanwhile, felt the war would not be worth winning if the old order of things at home prevailed and was often at odds with her husband in her efforts to preserve the gains of the New Deal and achieve reforms in civil rights, housing, and welfare programs. While Franklin manned the war room at the White House and held meetings with Winston Churchill, Joseph Stalin, Mackenzie King, and other world leaders to discuss strategy for the war abroad, Eleanor crisscrossed the country, visiting the American people, seeing how the war and policies her husband made in Washington affected them as individuals.

  • Historical Materials in the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library
    HISTORICAL MATERIALS IN THE FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARY FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARY AND MUSEUM NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND RECORDS ADMINISTRATION April 2011 FOREWORD It seems to me that the dedication of a library is in itself an act of faith. To bring together the records of the past and to house them in buildings where they will be preserved for the use of men and women in the future, a Nation must believe in three things. It must believe in the past. It must believe in the future. It must, above all, believe in the capacity of its own people so to learn from the past that they can gain in judgement in creating their own future. ...This latest addition to the archives of America is dedicated at a moment when government of the people by themselves is being attacked everywhere. It is, therefore, proof - if any proof is needed - that our confidence in the future of democracy has not diminished in this Nation and will not diminish. Franklin D. Roosevelt Remarks at the dedication of the Franklin D. Roosevelt Library. June 30, 1941 This is a list of holdings of the Franklin D. Roosevelt Library. Included are the President's personal and family papers, papers covering his public career at the state and national level, those of Eleanor Roosevelt, as well as those of many of his associates in public and private life. The Library, a gift to the American people from the President, had its beginnings in 1939 when Franklin Roosevelt turned over to the Government 16 acres of the family estate at Hyde Park.

Prasch 2011 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We are like dwarfs standing upon the shoulders of giants, and so able to see more and see further . - Bernard of Chartres My parents, Ben and Rochelle Platter, encouraged a love of learning and intellectual curiosity from an early age. They enthusiastically supported my goals and dreams, whether that meant driving to Hillsdale, Michigan, in the dead of winter or moving me to Washington, D.C., during my junior year of college. They have continued to show this same encouragement and support during graduate school, and I am blessed to be their daughter. My in-laws, Greg and Sue Prasch, have welcomed me into their family as their own daughter. I am grateful to call them friends. During my undergraduate education, Dr. Brad Birzer was a terrific advisor, mentor, and friend. Dr. Kirstin Kiledal challenged me to pursue my interest in rhetoric and cheered me on through the graduate school application process. Without their example and encouragement, this project would not exist.

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.

    Kathleen Dwyer “A More Perfect Union – Year “ September 14, 2011 Paper 3 “No Ordinary Time” In No Ordinary Time, Doris Kearns Goodwin wrote a detailed account of the relationship between Eleanor and Franklin Roosevelt set against two great events: the New Deal and World War II. According to Goodwin, these two great events ushered in modern America. Goodwin highlighted America’s transformation by examining the players, who shaped not only the Roosevelt administration but the entire nation. During the Roosevelt era, the White House served home to myriad of Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt’s confidants and advisors. There was the trustworthy Harry Hopkins and his young daughter. Franklin’s secretary, Missy LeHand, also lived in the White House and was madly in the love the president. Then, there was the former journalist, Lorena Hickok, who was madly in love with Eleanor. However, the two most central characters living in the White House were the president and first lady: Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt. Goodwin made their relationship central to understanding not only the Roosevelt White House but also the World War II era. And in so doing, Goodwin depicted how both the New Deal and World War II modernized and transformed America into a world superpower. Throughout the novel, Goodwin shifted between analysis of historical events and biographical anecdotes of the lives the historical characters. Goodwin left a lasting impression of what the war looked like from the perspectives of its most important participants. Goodwin also highlighted the two events that forever changed Franklin 1 were his overcoming polio that left him handicapped and the effect his affair with Lucy Mercer had on his relationship with Eleanor.

  • Trade Books' Historical Representation of Eleanor
    Social Studies Research and Practice www.socstrp.org Trade Books’ Historical Representation of Eleanor Roosevelt, First Lady of the World John H. Bickford III Taylor A. Badal Eastern Illinois University Contemporary education initiatives require English language arts educators spend half their time on non-fiction and history and social studies teachers to include diverse sources. Beginning in the early grades within the aforementioned curricula, students are to scrutinize multiple texts of the same historical event, era, or figure. Whereas trade books are a logical curricular resource for English language arts and history and social studies curricula, the education mandates do not provide suggestions. Research indicates trade books are rife with historical misrepresentations, yet few empirical studies have been completed so more research is needed. Our research examined the historical representation of Eleanor Roosevelt within trade books for early and middle-grades students. Identified historical misrepresentations included minimized or omitted accounts of the societal contexts and social relationships that shaped Mrs. Roosevelt’s social conscience and civic involvement. Effective content spiraling, in which complexity and nuance increase with grade level, between early and middle-grades trade books did not appear. Pedagogical suggestions included ways to position students to identify the varying degrees of historical representation within different trade books and integrate supplementary primary sources to balance the historical gaps. Key Words: Children’s trade books, young adult literature, Eleanor Roosevelt, historical representation, primary sources, informational texts Introduction On November 9, 1962, the General Assembly of the United Nations held a memorial service to celebrate Eleanor Roosevelt’s involvement, interests, and ideals.
