Alice Roosevelt Longworth lived her entire adult life in
the public eye. This photo montage begins by placing her
in the context of her family members, including the mother
she never knew. There are stunning photos of her as Princess
Alice, the American First Daughter, famous the world over.
The photographs also depict the years when she was at the
height of her political power and in the company of others
equally famous, and altogether they span her nine decades.
Some
of these photos are reproduced in Alice, while others are
seen here for the first time. Alongside the photographs
are reproductions of some of the written documents that
tell something about the private woman described in Alice:
a diary entry when she was a teenager showing the "little
heartlets,"and examples of the three secret codes that
Senator William E. Borah used in his love letters to Alice
Longworth.
Enjoy

without permission, as they are not all in the public domain.
