First ladies have played an instrumental role in United States history. Take a look back at some of the women who called the White House home.
John Adams (1735-1826), 2nd President of USA, born in Massachusetts, he was the first President to live in the White House. A true patriot during the American Revolution, he led the fight to declare independence from Great Britain. Abigail Adams was John's wife and First Lady from 1797 to 1801. Her letters to her husband while they were separated during the Revolution are famous today. She was also the mother of another U.S. President, John Quincy Adams. One error: I no longer add wooden feet to the bottom of John as shown in the photos. I'm making new photos, but thought I should warn you. You may buy one or both by selecting options.

He previously served as the eighth United States Secretary of State from 1817 to 1825. During his long diplomatic and political career, Adams also served as an ambassador, and represented Massachusetts as a United States Senator and as a member of the United States House of Representatives. He was the eldest son of John Adams, who served as the second US president from 1797 to 1801, and First Lady Abigail Adams. Initially a Federalist like his father, he won election to the presidency as a member of the Democratic-Republican Party, and in the mid-1830s became affiliated with the Whig Party. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Quincy_Adams **** Bobbe was a contributor to the New York Times Magazine. Among her works were “Abigail Adams, the Second First Lady” (1929), “Mr. and Mrs. John Quincy Adams” (1930) and “De Witt Clinton” (1939). -- https://www.nytimes.com/1975/03/20/archives/obituary-1-no-title.html Nice article about Hamilton by Dorothie Bobbe in 1955 -- https://www.americanheritage.com/boyhood-alexander-hamilton

You may be surprised to learn that not every politician is equipped with romantic game. Here are the stories of a few presidents who had a little difficulty garnering the affections of the first lady – or at least had a few awkward moments during the cour

The toponymy of the White Mountains is typically early American. The settlers who displaced the local Abenaki chose for the most part to honor political, scientific, and local leaders in the names that they bestowed on the peaks, rivers, and notches. A few landmarks reflect the physical landscape (Whiteface, Tripyramid), and a couple even commemorate indigenous leaders, though of Chocorua, Tecumseh, and Osceola, only the first was actually Abenaki. Note how few females are memorialized in the landscape. By the 20th century, the Forest Service and local clubs began to name a few landmarks after women—the Dolly Copp Campground or the Kate Sleeper Trail, for example—but such monuments are still rare. The paucity did not escape Bethany (Benny) Taylor, a former AMC croo member who is now finishing up grad school in Montana. Noting one of the peculiarities of the toponymy of the Presidential Range, she has proposed changing the name of the bump now known as Adams Four to Mount Abigail Adams. Mount Adams, the second highest peak in the Whites, has several satellites, of which the two largest, John Quincy Adams and Sam Adams, are fairly well known, as the Gulfside Trail traverses past them on its way to Mts. Madison and Jefferson. Adams Four, which rises to the northwest of the true summit at the end of Nowell Ridge, is somewhat smaller. Along with its even more diminutive sibling Adams Five, it completes the Adams Family. While the use of numbers in the names of these nubbles perhaps adds a remote quality to the local landscape (think K2), Benny has espied an opportunity to add a little gender diversity to the Presidentials. Abigail Adams is best-known of the early Presidential wives due to the survival of the prodigious correspondence that passed between her and her husband. David McCullough’s biography of John (not to mention the HBO miniseries that aired a year or two ago) brought a wave of attention to the relationship. Abigail is an easy woman to like, as her letters reveal a lively wit and an engaging intelligence. Additionally, she was outspoken in her opposition to slavery and advocated for women’s rights such as property ownership. Benny submitted a proposal to rename Adams Four to Mount Abigail Adams a few months ago. If you favor the change, please write an email in support to the USGS.
