her pioneer childhood; Eleanor Roosevelt chastising her grown son

for his Christmas plans; and Groucho Marx as a dog to his

twenty-five-year-old son.

With letters that span more than three centuries of American

history, Posterity is a fascinating glimpse into the thoughts,

wisdom, and family lives of those whose public accomplishments have

touched us all. Here are renowned Americans in their own words and

in their own times, seen as they were seen by their children. Here

are our great Americans as mothers and fathers.
