ourpresidents: First Moms Lou Henry Hoover is a big history crush for us.  Ever a maverick, Lou was a tomboy, a scientist, and the first woman to major in geology at Stanford.  After she married Herbert Hoover, the two traveled to China, Burma, Japan, Egypt, Australia, and New Zealand. As a mother, Lou traveled the world with her young children.  After giving birth to their first son, Herbert Jr., in 1903, Lou was ready to travel within five weeks. The baby, a nurse, and the Hoovers left for Australia with baby Herbert in a traveling basket.  By the time Herbert Jr. was one year old, he had been around the world twice. Here is portrait Lou Hoover with Allan and Herbert Jr. in London, England, 1908. Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there.  And thanks for the adventures! -from the Hoover Library

ourpresidents: Just in case you still haven’t decided on a proper chapeau for the Kentucky Derby… We now present to you a Flickr collection from the Truman Library all about hats. The Library has many photos of First Lady Bess Truman wearing hats, and the archivists culled their holdings for images of men and women in history wearing hats.  According to Bess’s best friend, Mary Paxton, “Bess had more stylish hats than the rest of us did, or she wore them with more style…”  Here’s a photo of the BFFs, Bess and Mary in 1901.  Bess is on the left, wearing a hat with a large ruffle and feather.
