    Very disappointed that you left out her father’s suicide which cast a cloud over her whole adult life, is one one of the big reasons she sought privacy lest she’d have to address this tragedy in the media, and informed the relationship she had with her mother which is the reason her emotionally fragile mother lived with Harry and Bess until she died. I don’t understand how something this important gets left out of your video.

    Bess had a hard act to follow, in Eleanor Roosevelt. Ms. Roosevelt was one of the most activist First Ladies.

    the Whitehouse had to be renovated It was on the verge of collapse. The decorating was not extravagant by. Any stretch. the historical stuff had been gone for years. This is why jackie redid everything in the early 60s

    This guy knows absolutely nothing about Mrs Truman. What a load of vacuous garbage and twaddle.
    Having said that Mrs Truman was an outstanding wife mother daughter and first lady.
