Description

Faith of Our Mothers tells the remarkable stories of the mothers of our nation's presidents and of their influence on their sons. Presidential scholar Harold Gullan explores these engaging persons in chronological order, examining the lives and formative roles played by America's forty-three first mothers. A fascinating read, Faith of Our Mothers delves into a significant but neglected facet of American history. In examining the "faith" of the presidential mothers, Gullan describes primarily their faith in their sons' potential, but he also looks at their (often) devout religious faith. Where possible, Gullan also touches on their ancestry, childhood, and marriage, as well as telling the story of the years after the birth of their presidential sons. Popularly written and accented with pictures of many of the figures discussed, Faith of Our Mothers provides a unique look at the maternal inspiration behind the presidents and our nation.
