The elegant and imposing Governor's Palace, official residence of seven royal governors and the first two governors of the Commonwealth of Virginia, Patrick Henry and Thomas Jefferson, is the subject of this lavishly illustrated book. Barbara Carson explains how Virginia's eighteenth-century chief executives lived in the palace and used its public spaces to reinforce the image and authority of the British crown. She also discusses the inventory of Lord Botetourt, penultimate royal governor, an invaluable resource document that has answered many questions about the building and its contents.

Glossy color photographs lavishly depict the residences of the governors of 44 states (six states do not have governor's mansions). Each state's mansion receives its own section picturing public and private rooms, exterior and grounds, and artworks and furnishings within. Text combines architectural description and attention to interior decoration with historical anecdotes and occasional reference to the lives of the residents; Keating, First Lady of the State of Oklahoma, assures us in her introduction that "First Families are people, too."Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
