Doris Kearns Goodwin Quote
The story-high house of hewn logs is clean and neat, with many rooms, he wrote, so that one can be alone if one wishes to. The central room featured a massive stone hearth with trophy heads gazing down from the walls and buffalo robes covering the couches. His own chamber held a rubber tub for bathing and rough shelves for his favorite books—Parkman and Irving and Hawthorne and Cooper and Lowell—along with a growing assortment of volumes sent from New York by his devoted sister.
