Beautifully illustrated story of Claudia (Lady Bird) Johnson, First Lady of the US from 1963-68. She wanted to beautify the roadways and fields of Texas and that was her mission until her death in 2007.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Sympathetic and fair portrait of Lady Bird Johnson and the important role she played in her husband‘s career and presidency, including passages from her diaries throughout. The book is well written and interesting, but not so compelling that I‘d recommend it to friends who aren‘t already interested in 20th century presidential history or First Ladies.

A magisterial portrait of Lady Bird Johnson, and a major reevaluation of the profound yet underappreciated impact the First Lady's political instincts had on LBJ's presidency.
