A selection of more than 300 images collected by Rose
Fitzgerald Kennedy, many never seen before, featuring the
beloved and revered Kennedy family: This remarkable history
dates from 1878 through 1946--up to the aftermath of WWII
and the beginning of JFK's political career--and covers
everything from the family's first home to beach vacations,
from children's birthdays to first Communions. The images
capture the formative years of a uniquely American dynasty,
imparting a glowing nostalgia to the period and detailing
the family's progress as it grows from a pair of
turn-of-the-century newlyweds into a populous, vibrant clan
of hopeful young men and women on the brink of their
brilliant destinies. This is a piece of Americana that
readers will treasure.
