Wit, Wisdom and Foibles of the Great
Excerpt from Wit, Wisdom and Foibles of the Great: Together With Numerous Anecdotes Illustrative of the Characters of People and Their Rulers It may be argued that an anecdote is at times only the reflection from an inconsiderable facet; yet it cannot be denied that light is frequently shed on the characters of men by the anecdotes in which they figured as well as those of which they were only the relators, or the relation of which interested them, even if in these anecdotes the line of veracity has become somewhat undulating by frequent handling.

The Invisibles
The Invisibles chronicles the African American presence inside the White House from its beginnings in 1782 until 1862, when President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation that granted slaves their freedom. During these years, slaves were the only African Americans to whom the most powerful men in the United States were exposed on a daily, and familiar, basis. By reading about these often-intimate relationships, readers will better understand some of the views that various presidents held about class and race in American society, and how these slaves contributed not only to the life and comforts of the presidents they served, but to America as a whole.
