John Adams, the Writer: A Treasury of Letters, Diaries, and Public Documents
(3)
4-6
Compiled excerpts from Adams's diaries, letters, and other documents related to his presidency illuminate his personal and political life and challenges. Yoder's accompanying commentary provides more context, helping put the writings in historical perspective. Small black-and-white drawings, paintings, and photos (some too dark) depict many of the important figures who played roles in Adams's long and rich life. Timeline. Bib., ind.

George Washington, the Writer: A Treasury of Letters, Diaries, and Public Documents
(4)
4-6
This compilation of Washington's correspondence, diary entries, and public addresses is full of interesting tidbits about his personal life, his beliefs, and the people around him. Organized chronologically, the subject matter tends to jump around (e.g., a letter to Robert Morris about slavery is followed by a letter to John Jay about the need for a Constitutional Convention). Period reproductions illustrate the book. Bib., ind.
