Printed biography of the 34th U.S. President on verso. On July 1, 1916,
19-year-old Mamie Geneva Doud (1896-1979) married 25-year-old Second Lieutenant
Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890-1969) in Denver, Colorado. They had two sons:
Dwight Doud Eisenhower (1917-1920) and John Sheldon Doud Eisenhower (born in
1923). As an Army wife for 37 years, Mamie grew accustomed to entertaining
groups of influential people, a talent she drew upon during her eight years as
First Lady (1953-1961). In their 53 years of married life, the
Eisenhowers lived in 33 homes; their last, in Gettysburg, was the only home they
owned together. During Ike's final illness, Mamie moved into Walter Reed Army
Hospital to be with him during the final months of his life. Lightly
creased. Surface scratches at right background and at forehead of image. White
marks on facial image and background, touching signature. Lightly soiled on
verso. Overall, fine condition.
