FDR and His Hudson Valley Neighbors
"The author knows more about my family s estate Springwood, that nearly anyone else. Dr. Moody places my grandfather there, just where he said he wanted to be home!" --Curtis Roosevelt, the oldest grandson of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and the author of Too Close to the Sun: Growing Up in the Shadow of my grandparents Franklin and Eleanor."For decades not, Roosevelt biographers have been mining F. Kennon Moody s original research about FDR and the rarified River world that shaped him. I m delighted to learn that the general public will now be let in on all that he has found." --Geoffrey C. Ward, author of Before the Trumpet: Young Franklin Roosevelt 1882-1905; A First Class Temperament: The Emergence of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and Closest Companion"Ken Moody knows more about the Roosevelt family than just about anyone! Based on his exhaustive research in Hyde Park, F.D.R. and His Hudson Valley Neighbors  will be a valuable resource for any historian who wants to understand the Roosevelts place among their Hudson Valley kin, neighbors and employees. The appendices alone make the book a "must have" for the reference shelf." --Rebecca Edwards, Eloise Ellery Professor of History, Vassar College, author of New Spirits: Americans in the Gilded Age 1865-1905
