Abigail Adams: Letters (LOA #275) (Library of America Adams Family Collection)

Abigail Adams was an unusually accomplished letter writer.Â Spirited and insightful, her correspondence offers a unique vantageÂ on historical events in which her family played so prominent aÂ role, while bringing vividly to life the everyday experience ofÂ American women in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.Â Here are 430 lettersâ€”more than a hundred published forÂ the first timeâ€”to John Adams, John Quincy Adams, ThomasÂ Jefferson, Mercy Otis Warren, James and Dolley Madison, andÂ Martha Washington, among many others. Including her famousÂ call to â€œRemember the Ladies,â€ letters from the 1760s and 1770sÂ offer an unrivalled portrait of the American Revolution on theÂ home front. Travel to Europe in the 1780s opens a grand new fieldÂ for her talents as social commentator and political advisor while herÂ roles as vice presidential and presidential wife place her at the veryÂ heart of the nationâ€™s founding. Also included are a chronology ofÂ Adamsâ€™s life, detailed notes, and extensively researched family trees.Â This volume is published simultaneously with John Adams: Writings from the New Nation 1784â€“1826, the third and final volume in the Library of America John Adams edition.
