George Washington's Beautiful Nelly: The Letters of Eleanor Parke Custis Lewis to Elizabeth Bordley Gibson, 1794-1851 - Brossura
Sinossi
An intimate portrait of the first ""first family"" from the vantage of Washington's adopted daughter Eleanor Parke Custis Lewis (1779-1852) was in many ways the quintessential southern lady, but as Martha Washington's granddaughter by her first marriage and George Washington's adopted daughter, she was also an American celebrity. Her lifelong correspondence with childhood friend Elizabeth Bordley Gibson records the experiences of the first family, the social and political gossip of the new republic's elite circle, and the difficulties of motherhood and marriage. Edited by Patricia Brady, the voluminous and unguarded letters also reveal the complex cast of family and friends associated with the Washington household, the details of plantation life, and the social limitations placed on even the most privileged eighteenth- and nineteenth-century women. This edition features an updated introduction.

This is one of the Women's Diaries and Letters of the Nineteenth-Century South series. From Wikipedia: "Eleanor Parke Custis Lewis (March 31, 1779 July 15, 1852), known as Nelly, was the granddaughter of Martha Washington and the step-granddaughter of George Washington. During George Washington's presidency, Nelly helped entertain guests at the first presidential mansion in New York City, the second presidential mansion also in New York City, and the third presidential mansion in Philadelphia. On February 22, 1799, Nelly Custis married George Washington's nephew, the widower Lawrence Lewis, of Fredericksburg, Virginia. Throughout her life, she regarded herself as a preserver of George Washington's legacy. She shared memories and mementos, entertained and corresponded with those seeking information on the first president, and verified or debunked stories. She is buried at Mount Vernon in an enclosure adjacent to George and Martha Washington's tomb." Very good. Signed by previous owner. Cover has slight wear and soiling. Codice articolo 71124
