Book excerpt: Presents a biography of Abigail Adams (1744-1818), wife of the second president of the United States, John Adams, and mother of the sixth, John Quincy Adams. This work tells not only of her extraordinary life but of the major political and social developments of the time. Adams's life is one of the most documented of the first ladies: she is remembered for the many letters she wrote to her husband while he stayed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, during the Continental Congresses. John frequently sought the advice of Abigail on many matters, and their letters are filled with intellectual discussions on government and politics. The letters serve as eyewitness accounts of the American Revolutionary Warhome front.
