Servant to Abigail Adams / Connell, Kate

In 1800, thirteen-year-old Hannah Cooper works as a servant for Abigail Adams. Hannah corresponds with her printer brother, Daniel, about President Adams's run for re-election against Thomas Jefferson, the newly constructed White House, and life in the President's household.

Illustrated text, letters, and diary excerpts follow a fictional teenage servant as she accompanies First Lady Abigail Adams to the Executive Mansion in Philadephia and later to the new presidential residence in Washington, D.C., where they witness the election of Thomas Jefferson in 1800.
