The Lincolns in the White House: Four Years That… von Jerrold M. Packard

This was a decent look at the family life of Abraham Lincoln during his tenure in the White House as America's sixteenth president. These four years absolutely changed the family. Illness, death, war, and a divided country. That's what this family faced as they took the reigns of America's government and moved into the White House. Packard's account is very interesting and well worth reading.

Victoria's Daughters von Jerrold M. Packard

OK but quite detailed history of Victoria's 5 royal daughters and what they did. Queen Victoria lived a long life and her relatives were among several thrones in Europe, especially in Germany. Kaiser Wilhelm II of World War One was her grandson on the mother's side ! Good inside information. Some parts get a little tedious.
