Abstract

Mrs. Taft's Reminiscences
April 1, 1915 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the book "Recollections of Full Years," by Helen Herron Taft. Taft's full years appear to have embraced her whole life, for this is her autobiography. It begins about the close of the Civil War, when, as little Helen Herron, too immature to know what it all meant, she watched a peace parade from her father's doorstep in Cincinnati; it ends with her departure from the White House. Incidentally, it is a biographical sketch of her husband William Howard Taft, whom she first met at an evening coasting party, where he took her, a girl of eighteen, down a steep hill on his bob-sled.
