An insight to an earlier era

An account of Irwin (Ike) Hoover's years working at the White House, first as an electrician and then as the first Chief Usher. There's no preamble - it just starts right into the story. This is very typical of memoirs of the time, as I learned from reading the memoirs of the men who protected Abraham Lincoln. Mr. Hoover wasn't that early, but the style is similar. I was thrilled to find this book, and my copy was in decent condition for being nearly 80 years old.
