Presidents And Pies: Life In Washington, 1897-1919 is a non-fiction book by Isabel Anderson, published in 1920. The book provides a vivid account of life in Washington D.C. during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, offering a glimpse into the social and political culture of the time. The author, who was a prominent socialite and the wife of a U.S. diplomat, provides an insider’s perspective on the events and personalities that shaped the nation’s capital during this period. Anderson’s writing style is engaging and lively, and she covers a wide range of topics, including the White House, the Capitol, the Supreme Court, and the city’s social scene. The book also includes numerous anecdotes and stories about the presidents and other notable figures of the time, as well as recipes for some of the famous pies that were served at the White House during this period. Overall, Presidents And Pies is a fascinating and entertaining read that provides a unique glimpse into a bygone era of American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
