The Adams Papers at the Massachusetts Historical Society
With brilliantly clear full-color illustrations on almost every page, this volume showcases Adams-related manuscripts from the collections at the Massachusetts Historical Society. The selections are grouped in four chapters?including one on John and Abigail?s famous correspondence and another highlighting John?s contributions to the Revolution?and each chapter provides short explanations of historical context. The print quality of this book is so high that looking at the reproduction is as near as possible to looking at the original. This book represents only a fraction of the important and fascinating documents in the collection, but they are generally the most well-known items. Some have been elevated both in the scholarly world and in the popular mind to the status of icons. Look, read, and enjoy this sample of the intimate writings of a remarkable American family.

Founding Friendships
"American popular culture is filled with movies, books, and articles asking whether friendships between men and women are possible. In Founding Friendships, Cassandra Good demonstrates that this is hardly a new issue; indeed, many of the nation's founding fathers had female friends. Elite men and women over two hundred years ago formed loving, politically significant friendships. Abigail Adams called her friend Thomas Jefferson "one of the choice ones on earth, " while George Washington signed a letter to his friend Elizabeth Powel with the words "I am always Yours." The emotionally rich language of this period is often mistaken for romance, but this book's innovative analysis of letters, diaries, poetry, and novels in the past reveals that friendships between men and women were quite common. At a time when personal relationships were deeply political, these friendships embodied the core values of the new nation. Founding Friendships offers a fresh and expansive look at how America's founding generation of men and women defined and experienced friendship, love, gender, and power in the new nation"--
