He was an American diplomat and political presidential advisor. House had no military experience but was often called Colonel House. This title was bestowed on him by Texas Governor James S. Hogg. In 1912, after helping Wilson obtain the Democratic nomination for president, House was offered any cabinet position except that of Secretary of State. President Wilson had already promised that position William Jennings Bryan. Their relationship was so close that Wilson brought the Colonel to live in the White House during his tenure. House got along really well with Ellen, Wilson's first wife. COMPETITIVE PRICING!

This Volume is titled "Neutrality to War 1915-1917." Most importantly, signed by House on the FFEP and dated, June 1937, right at the end of his life. Edward Mandell House (July 26, 1858 March 28, 1938) was an American diplomat, and an adviser to President Woodrow Wilson. He was known as Colonel House although his rank was honorary and he had performed no military service. He was a highly influential back-stage politician in Texas before becoming a key supporter of the presidential bid of Wilson in 1912. Having a self-effacing manner, he did not hold office but was an "executive agent", Wilson's chief adviser on European politics and diplomacy during World War I (1914 1918). He became a government official as one of the five American commissioners to the Paris Peace Conference of 1919. In 1919 Wilson broke with House and many other top advisers, believing they had deceived him at Paris. Signed by Author(s).
