Dear Bess: The Letters From Harry To Bess Truman 1910-1959. TRUMAN, HARRY; FERRELL, ROBERT H. (EDITOR.
71609X2 Reprint Edition. Give 'Em Hell Harry Series. University of Missouri Press, Columbia and London: 1998. 606 pages. Softcover. Brand new book. In 1890 Harry Truman met Bess Wallace in Sunday school and, as he said years later, knew she would be his life's love. This chance meeting led to one of the most durable marriages of the twentieth century. In these letters we see the familiar Truman writing about his life as it unfolded - the man with a "give 'em hell" temper and puckish charm. We see the adoring and protective father; the common man who worried about money, cars, getting too little sleep, and visiting a dentist. But we also see a side he kept hidden - the man who moved between self-confidence and self-doubt, the man who always needed to share his fears and joys with the woman he loved. Includes an Index.
