Ellis, Joseph J.

First family : Abigail and John / Joseph J. Ellis - New York : Alfred A. Knopf , c2010 - 299 p. ; 25 cm

John and Abigail Adams left a remarkable portrait of their lives together in their personal correspondence: both were prolific letter writers (although John conceded that Abigail was the more gifted), and over the years they exchanged more than twelve hundred letters. Joseph J. Ellis distills them to give us an account both intimate and panoramic; part biography, part political history, and part love story.
