Abigail & John
It was a love match that has been “mythologized in American history,” one that endured for 54 years, produced a President-son and established a political dynasty. Now, in Abigail & John, historian Edith Gelles gives us a powerful double biography that views America’s founding through the lens of this extraordinary couple.
With ample excerpts from their extensive correspondence, Gelles provides a vivid portrait of the Adams’ family and political life, including John’s single turbulent term as president and Abigail’s successes as our second First Lady. Ultimately, Gelles shows how the Adams’ marriage was a marriage of equals. The result is an inspiring, first-hand flesh-and-blood account of the birth of the United States.
