The Bush family is an American political family that has played a prominent role in American politics since the 1950s, foremost as the first family of the United States from 1989 to 1993 and again from 2001 to 2009, during the respective presidencies of George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush. They also played prominent roles in areas of American news, sports, entertainment, and business. They were also the second family of the United States from 1981 to 1989, when George H. W. Bush was vice president. The Bush family is one of four families to have produced two presidents of the United States by the same surname; the others were the Adams, Roosevelt, and Harrison families. Best known for their involvement in politics, family members have held various national and state offices spanning across four generations, including that of U.S. senator (Prescott Bush); governor (Jeb Bush and George W. Bush); and president (George H. W. Bush, who had previously served as vice president, and George W. Bush). Other family members include a National Football League (NFL) executive (Joe Ellis) and two nationally known television personalities (Billy Bush and Jenna Bush Hager). The Bush family is of primarily English and German descent. The Bush family traces its European origin to the 17th century, with Samuel Bush being their first American-born ancestor, in 1647. According to the Swedish Colonial Society, the Bush family also has Swedish ancestry, going back ten generations to a Swedish farmer named Måns Andersson who migrated from Gothenburg to New Sweden (Delaware).

About this title

Synopsis

The Bush family's political resume is unequalled in American history: one US senator, two governors, one vice president and two presidents! This lavish book, with an artful combination of well-known and rare images in the style of bestselling author David Elliot Cohen's Nelson Mandela and Ronald Reagan, is a spectacular tribute to that record. Condoleezza Rice, President George W. Bush's secretary of state, has written the foreword and Donald L. Evans, chairman of the 2000 Bush-Cheney campaign and chairman of the George W. Bush Presidential Center, contributes an essay on George W. Bushs presidency. Additional commentary by leading historians, landmark speeches and historic photographs make The Bush Legacy a must-have for anyone interested in exploring the impact of this influential family.
