Where it came from
Published by Alfred A. Knopf in 1946, this volume serves as a curated anthology of the correspondence and political thought of the second and sixth presidents of the United States. It emerged during a mid-century period of renewed American interest in the intellectual foundations of the republic, intended to provide a accessible distillation of the family's extensive literary legacy for a post-war readership seeking to understand the historical roots of democratic governance.
The collection was edited by the historian Adrienne Koch and William Peden. Their editorial approach focused on showcasing the rigorous, often starkly contrasting intellectual temperaments of father and son through their private letters and official documents. Upon release, the volume was well-received by scholars and critics for its scholarly rigor and for presenting a cohesive narrative of the Adams family’s deep commitment to public service and political philosophy.
