Upstairs at the White House by J. B. West

Interesting book about the families that occupied in the White House from Presidents Roosevelt to Nixon. JB, the head usher, gives an insider’s look at the First Ladies and the way they made the house their own. Fascinating on many levels, it’s a unique microcosm of our changing society. The shift in social status and the way things are done, as Roosevelt’s upper-crust lifestyle exits, compared to the bread and butter of Harry Truman’s Middle America. Mami Eisenhower’s velvet gloves fifties-style housewife contrasts Jackie Kennedy’s upper crust finishing school that brought a new elegance to the White House. Everything is lovingly detailed from the strange requests, the guest and parties, births, and deaths, making each First Family unique. This book concentrates on women thrust into a peculiar position, torn from their regular lives, to create the illusion of normalcy for their families, all while being a role model for a country that has not quite figured out exactly what they are supposed to do. However, if you are interested in the history of the mansion itself, this would be a worthwhile read.
