Summary "White House Gossip: From Andrew Johnson to Calvin Coolidge" by Edna M. Colman is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work shares anecdotal narratives and insider details regarding the personal lives and political environments of various U.S. presidents, starting from Andrew Johnson's administration through to that of Calvin Coolidge. The focus includes notable events, scandals, and the social milieu that surrounded the White House during these critical periods in American history. The opening of the book introduces Andrew Johnson’s tumultuous presidency following the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. Colman vividly depicts the atmosphere of grief and suspicion in Washington, alongside Johnson's immediate challenges, including demands for revenge against the conspirators of Lincoln's murder and the complex task of reuniting a fractured nation. The text hints at Johnson’s fierce determination and the political environment fraught with tension, as he attempts to maintain Lincoln's policies while navigating his impending conflict with Congress and public sentiment. This introduction sets the stage for the broader discussions and revelations that will unfold throughout the subsequent presidential administrations. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
