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!

Description: Volume II only of the original 4 Volume Set. Red cloth on board with bright gilt facs signature to front and titling to spine. Book is tight, square, sharp-cornered and free of markings or flaws inside and out - near fine. Nice frontispiece portrait with an additional facs signature and tissue guard. 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.

Description: THE INTIMATE PAPERS OF COLONEL HOUSE Seymour, Charles Published by Houghton Mifflin Company, Boston, 1926 4 Vols. First Edition for each of the 4 volumes which were published between 1926 and 1928; 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 (19141918). 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.

Volumes I & II were printed in 1926 and Volumes III & IV were printed in 1928. The books contain the correspondence between President Wilson and one of his advisers on diplomatic efforts and foreign policies during Woodrow Wilson's presidency.
