Summary "Recollections of Full Years" by Helen Herron Taft is a memoir written in the early 20th century. The work offers a personal and intimate glimpse into the life of Taft as the wife of William Howard Taft, the 27th President of the United States, providing context about her upbringing, family, and social life intertwined with historical events. This volume explores her experiences from her childhood in Cincinnati to her role in Washington society and beyond, including significant political happenings of the era. The opening of the memoir introduces Cincinnati during the 1860s, highlighting both its unrefined charm and cultural vibrancy. Helen Herron Taft reflects on her early memories, her family's roots, and the educational and musical influences that shaped her upbringing. As she reminisces about her childhood development, she paints a vivid picture of her home life among her siblings, her father’s career, and the community's notable figures, as well as her initial encounter with her future husband, William Howard Taft, providing a backdrop for the richly woven narrative that follows in her recollections.
