Boyden Library Spring Speaker Series continues June 9th at 6:30 p.m.

The Book “Louisa Catherine: The Other Mrs. Adams” by late Margery H. Heffron will be discussed by her sister Mary M. Hayes.

In the annals of America’s first ladies, Louisa Catherine Adams has been overshadowed by her more famous mother-in-law, Abigail. The fact that her husband’s presidency was less than successful may have something to do with her own relative obscurity. But as Margery M. Heffron’s biography makes clear, this talented, tormented and fascinating figure is worthy of greater attention. It’s not too much to say that its pages make Louisa seem positively heroic.
