Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historic Structure Report: Home of Franklin D. Roosevelt, National Historic Site, Hyde Park, New York The Home of Franklin Delano Roosevelt (fdr) is interpreted to the year 1945. The rationale for this date was provided by fdr himself. He began plans in the late 1930's to donate his home to the federal government as a National Historic Site (nhs). His wishes included that nothing be altered once the property changed hands. As it happened, fdr died in the spring of 1945, at which time the members of his family gave up their rights of ownership. Research for this historic structure report (hsr) on the Home of fdr was begun by the author in October 1983, but was ended in December of that year in order to address and complete work directed by the Office of the President of the United States. Research and physical investigation recommenced in October 1986, and continued sporadically until completion in January 1989. Although only nondestructive types of investigation were permitted, many available technical means were employed to study the house's architectural fabric and to analyze it comparatively. Several aspects of terminology in this report need explanation. Room names and numbers are those instituted when the house was restored following the 1982 fire; they differ in some respects from the room names seen on the 1941 Historic American Building Survey drawings (appendix B). Also, a number of abbreviations are used throughout the report. Members of the Roosevelt family, after their first citation in the text, are referenced subsequently by their first names. Likewise, after their initial citation in the footnotes, Roosevelt family members are referenced by their initials.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Eleanor Roosevelt never wanted her husband to run for president. When he won, she . . . went on a national tour to crusade on behalf of women. She wrote a regular newspaper column. She became a champion of women's rights and of civil rights. And she decided to write a book." -- Jill Lepore, from the Introduction "Women, whether subtly or vociferously, have always been a tremendous power in the destiny of the world," Eleanor Roosevelt wrote in It's Up to the Women, her book of advice to women of all ages on every aspect of life. Written at the height of the Great Depression, she called on women particularly to do their part -- cutting costs where needed, spending reasonably, and taking personal responsibility for keeping the economy going. Whether it's the recommendation that working women take time for themselves in order to fully enjoy time spent with their families, recipes for cheap but wholesome home-cooked meals, or America's obligation to women as they take a leading role in the new social order, many of the opinions expressed here are as fresh as if they were written today.

Book Franklin   Eleanor Roosevelt

Download or read book Franklin Eleanor Roosevelt written by Ruth Ashby and published by Gareth Stevens Secondary Library. This book was released on 2005 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1902, on a train from New York City, Franklin Delano Roosevelt caught the eye of an elegant young lady. She was Eleanor Roosevelt, his distant cousin, who had just returned from school in Europe. From a shy, solemn girl, she had matured into a confident woman. Two years later, they were married. In 1932, at the depth of the Great Depression, Franklin was elected president. Together, the couple worked tirelessly to improve social conditions and help the American people regain faith in themselves. Franklin & Eleanor Roosevelt offers a behind-the-scenes look at this dynamic couple, from Franklin's struggle with polio and strong leadership during World War II to Eleanor's evolution from a reluctant first lady to "Eleanor Everywhere," a champion of the poor and disadvantaged.
