Ranger Dave Schafer recommends Hal Rothman’s LBJ’s Texas White House. |
| “Engaging
and insightful . . . LBJ’s Texas White House explores the importance
of place in American life. Rothman’s descriptions of the LBJ Ranch’s
importance to President Johnson—as a status symbol, presidential retreat,
political showplace, and family homeplace—are as vivid as LBJ’s
western hats and Texas drawl. To appreciate why Lyndon and Lady Bird Johnson
called their ranch ‘our heart’s home,’ read this book.”
