Presdient Zachery Taylor was the last president to own slaves while living in the White House. I do not have documentation as to whether or not he brought his own servants with him to Washington.

Which First Lady wrote:

"Dear Washington, how I love you, with your beautiful, broad, generous streets and blue skies! The sun shines always there for me."

With that description, I would think it has to be a 20th-century First Lady because the streets were not always broad and beautiful. Wild guess - Lady Bird Johnson.

Whoever said it, I have to agree. I know I count myself as a Washingtonian, having been raised on its front porch in Maryland; but it truly is a beautiful city. I spent a summer touring Europe in my single days, and only Vienna, Austria, impressed me as much as D.C.

Laurie, the reason this quote struck me is exactly as you say...I also would think first of a 20th century First Lady.

Hint #1: The quote comes from a 19th century First Lady.

Post-Civil War?

Hint #2: She was a First Lady after the Civil War and is buried in New York.

Julia Grant?

You are correct, Joe. Julia included that observation in her memoirs.

Which First Lady said:

".....in the process I have become a very respectable carpenter."

Because she was First Lady when the WH was gutted and remodeled, I'll guess Bess Truman.

There is a logical answer to this one, Joe, and yours is certainly a logical reply, but it's not her.

Rosalynn Carter with her and Jimmy Carters involvement with Habitat for Humanity?

Exactly right, Gene! She made the comment in an address at the Riverside Baptist Church in Washington on May 5, 1989.

Which First Lady wrote, "I should not blame my own heart if I lost all faith in you."

This was written after she found out her husband was seeing another woman.

How about a multiple choice selection with e)all of the above the correct answer?

Hillary Clinton? Jackie Kennedy? Eliza Johnson? Florence Harding?

Eleanor Roosevelt, my final answer
